5.0 out of 5 stars Hard to find pictures, December 17, 2008

This review is from: North African Villages: Morocco, Algeria, Tunisia (World Folk Architecture Series) (Paperback)

This book illustrates northern African vernacular architecture well and explains it with a clear text. It is a picture book by an architectural photographer rather than a scholarly history or technical architectural analysis. The pictures are beautifully printed, but not as lush as in an art-photo book. The book's value is that pictures and explanations of this material are hard to find in other sources. I don't know why it is out of print, since it has no competition and the material does not date. The photographs are mostly black and white with some color.
