4.0 out of 5 stars
A Little Book with a lot of info,
This review is from: A Little Book of Stained Glass (Little Books) (Hardcover)
Like Hardings other books, this volume illuminates stained glass windows in several obscure locations as well as some famous sites. His penchant for the odd as well as the traditional is appreciated. Could be a much larger book, but then it wouldn't fit in the series. A great little gift!
