Who decided what house is iconic? I mean, is it just *one* iconic house? Or is the author using the singular as a plural, and it&#39;s many iconic houses? And iconic of what? Because I personally think that the American iconic house is a tan square with three steps up to the door, a teeny porchlet, a 2-car garage to one side, and a fence sticking to both sides. Definitely, not the concrete WTH? on the front of that book.

Vintage, almost-antique books from 1926 - 1930 - 9 book lot

12 book lot of vintage books. These are Grammy and Gramps of vintage books, with dates from 1941 - 1950. 

These are mostly in quite good shape, and many even have relatively functional dust-jackets. Which makes sense - books published from 1941 - 1950 are &#34;post-war&#34; which means that the materials used are decent to great quality paper, good ink, good cloth. The books from just prior to that were &#34;war books&#34; and made out of very thin and poor paper, and not nearly as many survived until now.

The books you see are the exact books you will get. Most of these are &#34;older&#34;, which in a MMPB might mean from the 80s. They are all generally in acceptable to good condition. They are &#34;reading copies.&#34; They have all been well-loved, and well-used. Expect that the spines are creased, the covers might be bent, there might be a few small tears in some pages, the pages are likely tanned.
