Victoria, British Columbia, Canada: Sono Nis Press. Very Good in Good dust jacket. 1986. First Edition. Hardcover. 0919203760 . "Maclure headed British Columbia's largest domestic architectural practice for over 30 years. His clients included those domineering figures whose imagination, vision and rapacity set the province's economic, political and cultural history on a course which is still recognizable today. Yet Maclure was a shy often retiring man of frail health and wry humour, generous and not financially successful.

A scholarly and authoritative work which is easy to use both as a stimulating read or as a handy reference source." - dust jacket.… Leer más
