5.0 out of 5 stars
A beautiful book - architects and art lovers can both enjoy,
By A Customer
This review is from: Monticello in Measured Drawings (Distributed by Unc Press for the Thomas Jefferson Foundation) (Hardcover)
I purchased this book at Monticello, and any lover of architecture will enjoy this beautifully conceived work. The paper and print are gorgeous (reminiscent of Tufte's The Visual Display of Quantitative Information) - everyone I've shown it to can't stop looking at it. As a non-architect, at times I wished they had better defined some architectural terms, but overall the text is also quite good. If you enjoy aesthetically pleasing books, this beats almost every art book I've ever seen.

I saw this book at Monticello and wish I had bought it. The drawings are crisp and fairly detailed. I would recommend it highly.
