"A reprint of a good Aladdin Catalogue" according to Rosemary Thornton. This is an 8 x 11, 117 page [Dover] reprint of Aladdin's 1917 Catalog. The print and architectural renderings (house sketches) are really very good.The back of the book has garages, hardware miscellany, colonnades, arches, built-ins, etc.The first dozen pages are company history and background, which I find completely fascinating.The catalog looks like most house catalogs of this era, with an angled, although primarily frontal view of the house, with floor plans, house description, etc.It's pretty interesting reading and most folks would enjoy perusing it.
