Frank Sear

Just a quick note. I had Frank Sear as a lecturer a few years back and he was fantastic. If his book is as good as his lecturing it'd be well worth the money.

Very thorough, excellent reference

I used this text when I studied Roman Architecture and when I went to Rome. It is an excellent text and has good illustrations, although the pictures are occasionally blurry. I would recommend taking this with you if you would like to know just a little bit more about the ancient ruins you are looking at in Rome, even if it is heavy.
