About this copy
A comprehensive illustrated guide to the history, design, aerodynamics and construction of kites, written by two kite designers who trained at the Royal College of Art and later set up their own kite-manufacturing business. The book includes a detailed history of kite flying, descriptions of basic kite designs, and step-by-step instructions and diagrams for building six popular kite types. Hardcover with the original illustrated dust jacket, which carries the printed UK price of £2.95 on the front flap.
The jacket is intact and unclipped.
Condition
- Book
- Good – sound hardcover copy with handling wear consistent with age; internal pages photographed appear clean.
- Dust jacket
- Good – the jacket shows surface rubbing, scuffing and a few small edge nicks and creases to the front and rear panels, most noticeable along the top edge and spine, but remains complete and unclipped.
This is a pre-owned book, and minor age-related wear may be present beyond what is specifically mentioned. All readily visible defects have been described to the best of my ability. Please see photos, which form part of the description.
