This review is from: Doors & Windows: 100 Period Details from the Archives of Country Life (Paperback)

This is an excellent source to look at and enjoy but if you are looking for an idea book you should pass on this one.....unless you are building a multi-million dollar castle. The architectural details are works of art here and would be appropriate for few homes being built today. I still love looking at the images within.
