Pictorial boards. Etat : Very Good. INSCRIBED BY LESLIE EARL ROBERTSON on the half-title. A solid copy to boot of the 2017 1st edition. Tight and VG in its pictorial laminate boards, with the last 35-40 pgs. showing light staining (not at all affecting the text) along the lower-edges. Still though, handsome and very presentale. Leslie Robertson will go down of course for being the principal engineer in the construction of the World Trade Center but, apart from this, he also had "a storied career in engineering which has generated among the most innovative and formally daring buildings of the modern era. A restless student from modest origins, Robertson first encountered engineering almost accidentally, yet he would go on to be lead engineer of the landmark IBM buildings in Pittsburgh and Seattle while still in his early thirties.".
