Elegant Atlanta

This is a very nice book on a beautiful city. Atlanta is blessed with a lush landscape and rolling hills and wonderful homes that take advantage of these assets. The photography in this book is first rate and the homes and buildings chosen all are worthy of a mention. This book is a wonderful companion to the authors book on Classic New Orleans, both are so well done. I was so pleased to see that the same photographer was used in both books, he is really a talent. If you love wonderful photography and informative well researched text, as well as an appreciation for the south then you will not be disappointed in this book or the one on New Orleans.
