A comprehensive account on the city's architecture,
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Majesty St. Augustine, The (Majesty Architecture) (Hardcover)
This small and thin book on St. Augustine actually covers all the buildings worth seeing in the city. The pictures are beautiful, but, of course, quite small. The text is informative. So, in a word, this is a great book to remember your trip to the Nation's oldest city as long as you are not looking for a coffee table book.
