[COACHES]. The Coachbuilder Book of Designs (Second Edition). Comprising engravings of popular Australasian vehicles with tables of measurements.
Sydney &c, Bishop 1909. Quarto red gilt cloth (somewhat marked and blotched but in good shape and certainly very decent); 260pp, numerous engraved illustrations, photo illustrations and illustrated adverts (one being a mounted chromolitho). An odd light smudge, in all quite good copy. ¶ Second and better edition, much enlarged and including some motor cars. A very uncommon book, even more so in such good condition. The first section comprises 292 half page engravings of coach types; following this are 129 half page photo illustrations of Australian and New Zealand coaches and wagons and 10 of motor cars; finishing with the vital statistic for each design and the advertisements.
