Description: <div>Paperback booklet with brown and orange covers, held together with two staples on the left side. Both covers show white wearing along all the edges. The back cover is a blank, light orange color, with evidence of insect damage along the right edge, and several smears and spots. The covers are loose from the top staple, and so are stored in a plastic sleeve.  The front cover has an orange, blurry square in the center, with an illustration of a ranch-style house. Diagonally along the top of the front cover, are the words "Harmonious Homes" in the light orange color. At the bottom are the words, "Over 100 Illustrations of homes, duplexes, courts and garage apartments. All drawings available in either brick, concrete block, adobe, or frame. By Hiawatha T.
