Audels Carpenters and Builders Guide 4 Vol 1928 1st Ed.

This is a nice set of Audels with a complete set of 4 volumes printed and copyright in 1923, 1st edition, 2 & 4 reprinted in 1928 2nd printing, and (volume 1 & 3 printed in 1923 first printing). One of my favorite reference book sets for information on building and carpentry technics from the 1920's. The 1st volume is very good for information on tools of that days and how to care for them. Each book is 5" x 6.7" has a black leather like pressed cloth semi soft boards, gold gilt spine lettering and page edges. This set is in good++ condition overall, with the light line running down each spine, where the books have been fully opened (minor wear from use), and some minor wear on volumes 1-4, on the front and back cover mostly.  Volume 4 has a slight bit of moisture stains in the inside black cover pages, otherwise very good clean pages on all volumes. A few light and small smudges noted on the gold gilt page edges otherwise very nice gold edges. All the covers and spines on all volumes are clean, spines are tight and straight, some minor edge wear or corner bumping. Some minor wear on the gold gilt page edges; Good tight bindings.  A nice set of books covering tools, steel square, cutting tools, saw sharpening, nails, screws, joinery, furnature, math, drawings, estimating, house and roof framing, layout, foundations, doors, windows, stair building, millwork, painting, etc. Lots of good information, in this well kept set of vintage carpentry!
