I live in L.A. & always looking for early 1900s architecture books, like Henry Wilson "the draughstman" magazine/gazzette.

If anybody has any leads on original copies for sale, please let me know. I like collecting anything that has to do with early 1900s L.A.

Thanks
Mario

Hello Mario,
Have you tried Barnes and Noble Books?

They usually have many different hard to find books.

Respectfully,

Thanks for the heads up.

Yeah try Barnes and Nobles and Alibris as well.
I found at Barnes and Nobles a copy of a 1918 Sterling Homes catalog for sale for $1.99
from California. Didn't buy it cause I couldn't believe the price.Went back,and someone had purchased it.Boy was I stupid.!!!???

Your best bet is hitting the estate sales if you want the "real" thing- I've found some fabulous old architecture books at estate and even garage sales. Just takes time. For quicker results, try ebay - sometimes you can buy for very low prices if it's not a "hot" collector item.
