Format:Paperback
the type of work that this book records is of a superior class of work and would no longer be seen in any but the very highest quality properties today. unfortunately with todays Bob the builder budgets & Architects who dont have a clue about construction this book is resigned to the reference shelf in a quality carpenters workshop solely for reference.

The title suggests a Modern Practical Stairbuilding for use of workmen. In computer terms this book is not user friendly the designs are not modern and the illustrations are not clear and are very small. This book is out of a museum and should be returned there.
I also purchased 'Constructing Staircases,Balustrades & Landings', which is totally different & I would give it five stars.

A must for all master craftsmen involved in the restoration of period and historic houses with fine staircases, this book delves into the lost art of handrailing showing the geometry involved in producing such high class joinery. More of a nostalgic reference book nowadays for craftsmen who have a passion for high class work and how it used to be done. Its a shame colleges do not teach this aspect of the trade to apprentices anymore before its lost forever !!
