Encyclopedic Dictionary of Real Estate Practice

The item is a hardbound book titled "ENCYCLOPEDIC DICTIONARY OF REAL ESTATE PRACTICE", with additional text below that appears to be publisher or edition information, possibly "PARKERS BARN CONTEMPORARY SERIES" or similar, though partially obscured. The book features a dark, possibly olive green or deep brown cover, with the title embossed or printed in a metallic, gold-colored font on the spine. The visible surface of the spine shows a generally good condition, consistent with the provided context, with no apparent tears, significant scuffs, or major damage, suggesting it has been well-maintained. The edges of the spine appear relatively crisp, indicating minimal shelf wear or handling. The book's construction appears sturdy and typical of academic or reference texts, designed for frequent use. Given the topic, it likely contains a substantial number of pages and is of a standard size for a professional reference book, likely around 9-11 inches in height. Based on the subject matter and visible typeface, the estimated age is likely mid-to-late 20th century, possibly 1970s or 1980s, a period when such comprehensive real estate resources were highly valued. Quality indicators include the clear, legible printing and what appears to be a durable binding, although further assessment of the interior pages and binding structure would be required for a complete quality evaluation. There are no readily visible unique markings or manufacturer details on the spine beyond the title information.
