Customer Reviews

A great find!

As an Architecture student interested in historic preservation I noticed this book, purchased it (deeply discounted), and once I began reading, couldn't put it down. This is a great little treasure for inside information on people genuinely interested in several different areas of historic preservation. The author did a great service by indirectly convincing me I'm on the right road with his witty, intelligent stories
