Review
Coventry, Meyer, and Miller have made a significant contribution with this excellent history of one community examined from many angles. They have blended their research and individual styles into a highly readable and graceful whole. (Carolyn Torma - Journal of the Society of Architectural Historians )

3.0 out of 5 stars
Queen of the North Shore,
By
This review is from: Classic Country Estates of Lake Forest: Architecture and Landscape Design 1856-1940 (Hardcover)
This is a good book, well put together book on a fabled Chicago suburb. I would have liked to have seen more pictures and better quality in the photos. The research is top notch and I enjoyed reading the text, but I expected more and for some reason that I can't quite put my finger on I was a bit disappointed. I usually go back to my books over and over again to paruse the pictures and scan the text, but I have not found myself doing that with this book and I don't know exactly why, because I normally love these kinds of books. Anyway, it is a fine book and maybe it's just me.
5.0 out of 5 stars
