Contents of books were the translations from Europe books, in the early period, and extended to the category of engineering depending on Japanese circumstances. As the reason of affairs, we are able to point up the existence of the countries character, earthquakes, especially "NOBI". After then, the new category, planning and energy instruments, developed in appearing of new functional buildings. The books of category in history and theory of design had the later development, comparing with the previous. The architecture was introduced in the not professional field, as layman books and especially in the housing, although professional books extended their publication and contivieted the culture properties. The comparison of serial three books defined that editorial concepts made differences of the architectural idea and that the sheared volume of each categories deferred from the three, even three having the comprehensive contents. The serial book had a role not only for textbook, but also for practical book for engineer. The character of authors were belong to the high level educated parsons graduated form the university, and professors at the early period and changed to practical professionals accordance with the popularization of constructional tecnologies. At the field of structural theory and energy facilities, authors, having the science and the other engineering profession, participated writing.
