Third impression of the second edition. Hardcover. Publisher's original dark brown cloth, with gilt titles to the upper board and spine, issued without a dustwrapper.

The contents are clean throughout, and without inscriptions or stamps.

This revised edition includes a new introduction by Richard Hoyle and Daren Tailby. '[The book] has long been acknowledged as the most concise and instructive guide to the technical geometry of the construction industry, and a vital resource for students in architecture, carpentry, stonemasonry and engineering. Beginning with the very basics of technical drawing, it provides a series of increasingly complex exercises to clearly explain all that the reader needs to know about geometry. [...] Last published in 1966, it has been unobtainable since then. It remains one of the most useful books for any student in the construction industry' (publisher's blurb).
