Highlights

Japanese Flower Arrangement for Modern Homes by Margaret Preininger. Boston, Little, Brown and Company. Copyright page: "Copyright, 1936, by Margaret Preininger ... Published December 1936," with no reprint lines, so this is the first printing. Line drawings of arrangements, photographic plates, and a Japanese calligraphy plate.

Condition: Very Good. Cream boards in a clear acetate/glassine-type wrapper; the wrapper is worn and creased, and the spine lettering is not visible through it. The bright ring in the cover photos is glare from the camera light on the wrapper, not a mark on the book. Interior clean apart from light toning.

This is a used book from a private family collection. Please look at all photos; they show the actual copy.

Ships from Palo Alto, CA by USPS Media Mail; buyer pays calculated postage at checkout. Media Mail is slow (usually 2-8 days). Packed in plastic and bubble wrap inside a box.

This copy is cross-listed; if it sells elsewhere first, this listing ends.
