	MARTIN, RICHARD AND HAROLD KODA Swords Into Ploughshares Metropolitan Museum of Art. 1995, First Edition. Card. Catalogue for an exhibition held September 7-November 27, 1995. Richard Martin and Harold Koda appear to have thought about the pea jacket, the safari suit, and camo when they decided to take this look at the influence of military uniform on everyday dress.

Ex-Library, Part of the Department of the Interior's nation-wide project, begun in the 30s to document early and historical buildings. Reading through any catalogue of this sort, one gets tired of seeing the phrase "no longer standing", but that's characteristic of American architecture too. 158 pages, many black and white photographs, good index, and as much local history as Shank could fit in. A fine resource. This copy withdrawn from a library: last free endpaper has been removed, there are a stamp and pencil notations to the copyright page, and the dust jacket has a spine tail label and is glued to the boards inside. Ignore all that, and you still have a good, tight book in a whole dust jacket. Very Good/Very Good.

	SHANK, WESLEY I. The Iowa Catalog: Historic American Buildings Survey University of Iowa Press. 1979, First Edition. Hard Cover. Ex-Library, Part of the Department of the Interior's nation-wide project, begun in the 30s to document early and historical buildings. Reading through any catalogue of this sort, one gets tired of seeing the phrase "no longer standing", but that's characteristic of American architecture too. 158 pages, many black and white photographs, good index, and as much local history as Shank could fit in. A fine resource. This copy withdrawn from a library: last free endpaper has been removed, there are a stamp and pencil notations to the copyright page, and the dust jacket has a spine tail label and is glued to the boards inside. Ignore all that, and you still have a good, tight book in a whole dust jacket. Very Good/Very Good.
