The Book of the Exhibition of Houses and Cottages, Romford

Garden Suburb (1s. net.), forms the catalogue, as it were, to the exhibition that is now being held within easy reach of London at Gidea Park. The book is excellently illustrated with plans and drawings of all the houses exhibited. It contains also an historical sketch of Gidea estate, and a number of letters from well known personages expressing their opinions as to the qualities of an ideal house. We wish the exhibition every success, and feel sure that this book will tempt many to explore it.
