Great Real Estate Read

The pictures in this book are fantastic! Unbelievable what these architects were able to accomplish. I was a little disappointed that more movie star history was not part of the book. The author did indicate if there were movie props in the homes-lots from Marie Antionette. Delores del Rio's house and Madonna's were both portrayed. The book is an easy read, however, the beautifully photographed landscapes as well as interiors are worth checking this book out.
