How to Read Buildings: A Crash Course in Architectural Styles Description
Review
"...this pocket-size volume packed with handy visuals is a perfect reference tool." ~
Elle Decor"This practical primer not only provides the answer,
but proves that buildings can be the stuff of page-turners, too." ~
ReadyMade Magazine
"The draftsmanship of the fine pen and ink drawings, the color-coding of sections, the compactness of trim size, and the quantity of material presented, makes for an illuminated text. A book of architecturally refined elegance on a small scale." ~
ForeWord Magazine"This little guide, measuring just over 5 by 6 inches, is a charmer--chiefly because of the appealing design and the choice of skillfully drawn illustrations in colored ink." ~
Interior Design"I'm leaving
How to Read Buildings on my nightstand for a few weeks, but you can bet I'll tuck it into my carry-on bag when we head to Europe next month." ~James H. Schwartz in
