But as a refere. book about beautiful california tiles ksenia This is a great book for those who are interested in handmade tiles in California during 1910 - 1940 period.Wonderful pictures.. In Better Shape Than Expected I always assume that used books would show abysmal wear. I was extremely pleased and surprised to receive a book that is one step (small) below new. One tear on a dust cover that was small makes it used. Will buy more form them when I need to.
