(REAL NAME)

This review is from: National Landmarks, America's Treasures: The National Park Foundation's Complete Guide to National Historic Landmarks (Preservation Press Series) (Paperback)

Organized by state and then by county, this book offers an easy and quick way to find out about the properties that have been defined as our national landmarks. The pithy descriptions of each property are clever, articulate, and avoid formula writing, keeping the reader moving from one to another of the various entries. The photographs and occasional drawings are large and of high quality, providing a valuable complement to the text. In addition to the index by property name, there is a general index by subject matter, making it easy to find properties related by subject, regardless of location.
