This is a series of small well illustrated books from the British Museums Press covering the following;
Armourers, Embroiderers, English Tilers, Glass painters, Goldsmiths, Painters,and Scribes and Illuminators.
The other book in the series is 'Masons and Sculptors' by Nicola Coldstream, ISBN 0 7141 2048 0.
At only £7.99 and 72 pages this book manages to cram in 36 colour and 45 B/W illustrations and a great deal of information on the working lives, professional organisation and working skills required of a master mason. Data from the mason's own records, ancient manuscripts and contemporary art, reveal how these men became wealthy, highly respected members of society, and how they operated their buisiness.------------------
