intro to rehabbing--book recommendations
Hi,
Just starting to look at brownstones (and other townhouses)--any good introductory books on thinking out rehabbing ideas and costs? Probably going to be a post-1880 building, and I am inclined toward modern rather than historical...
Thanks!

For books, I would suggest "Bricks and Brownstones" by Charles Lockwood. That book will give you some ideas on the look that you would like. I also liked "Renovating Old Houses" by George Nash. But the most help I got when restoring my house was from the National Trust. They have a really good magazine and other resources. "This Old House Magazine" and website is a good albeit cliche resource as well. I think you are a bookseller so you should be able to find the other books easily. By the way, you wouldn't have any first edition Edith Whartons around would you?
