Customer Reviews

Great organization

What impressed my most about this book as an undergrad was the way the primary sources were organized into categories. It really helped in writing the term paper to start with some sources and then I was able to use the sources to find more in depth sources.

Excellent Reference

As an architectural book editor, I find this book an excellent reference for biographical data, architectural terms, and historical context. It's concise enough to give me just the bit of information I need when doing a fact-check or making sure a term is used properly.
