One of the best architecture books I've seen!5
As a student of cathedral and church architecture, I found this book to be highly informative, yet readable and engaging. The author's introduction to the subject evidences excellent research, and as the book progresses each subject is treated with admirable detail. The photographs are exquisite- each subject is shown from the best possible vantage point. The pivotal churches of St. Sernin in Toulouse and Ste. Foy in Conques are discussed in detail. This treatise is one of the best of its kind- a purchase that you will not regret.
