5.0 out of 5 stars an excellent piece of work, June 26, 2008

By	Frank L. Greenagel (Phillipsburg, NJ United States) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

Bisher knows the practice of 19th century building better than anyone--the legal issues, construction, the impact of new methods of manufacturing and distribution, use of plan books, contractors (undertakers), slaves, and the impact of exposure to Northern architecture, especially Philadelphia. Exceptionally useful even if your interest lies outside North Carolina, as mine does.

3.0 out of 5 stars Excellent Shipping, April 4, 2008

By	Duffer. "Bo" (Conyers, GA United States) - See all my reviews

The ordering process and shipping were excellent. However, I ordered it for a specific item of information and it was not worth the price.
