This is a beautiful book and all the more important in the light of recent events. The copy is repetitive and dry but the pictures are lovely. I would have appreciated more info on the architecture and history of the times these homes were built.

This book has excellent photographs that show the street facades of dozens of beautiful houses. There are also plenty of interior shots of the mostly antique furnishings for those who wonder what lies behind the porches and columns and through the tall windows.

"The Majesty of the Garden District" also includes some other interesting sites such as the cemetery and several churches. The text is typical of this sort of book and gives brief descriptions, dates, and historical notes.

Overall, a nice book to enjoy along with your chicory coffee and Cafe du Monde beignets while reminiscing about New Orleans!

This book has a lot of interesting info and the pictures are amazing! The ONLY problem that I have with the book is that some of the numbers for the B&Bs and museums are no longer working. Great job otherwise!
