5.0 out of 5 stars A stunningly beautiful piece of photographic art!, July 2, 2005
By Patrick J. Atkinson (Bismarck, ND United States) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
When I decided to build a small house in Central America, I started to clip photos from magazines, mark book pages, and take photographs of the homes of friends I have in Central America. Since I can't draw a stickman, I knew I was going to have to "point and show" to my builders what the design and "house feel" I was looking to achieve.

And then someone recommended "Traditional Mexican Style Exteriors", which I ordered from Amazon.com. From the very start, I looked, dreamed, looked, dreamed.... this book is beautiful. The photography is spectacular, and the nine chapters dealing with everything from Facades and Doors to Gardens and Columns are complete, colorful, and compelling. I may just build my entire house from ideas I'm getting from this one book alone! With the photographs and hundreds of different angles and details, I'll have no problem communicating my dreams to the builders.

Now I've ordered TWO copies of McManamim and Loper's book on Traditional Mexican Style Interiors. Can't wait until those arrive too. One is for me, and the other will make a great gift for someone special.

5.0 out of 5 stars Must Buy Mexican Design Book, August 5, 2006
By Vicente D. Mayor (Mandaluyong City, Philippines) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
I have bought more than a Dozen Mexican Design Books already. And none can compare to the Traditional Mexican Style Exteriors and its Companion Book Mexican Style Interiors by Donna McMenamin.

It is a wonderful book! You will not need any other book if you are planning on redecorationg your house. But, even if you will not decorate your house, this Book(s) are a worthy read. The Pictures are wonderful. Giving detail to what is really Mexican.

5.0 out of 5 stars Mexan Exteriors, September 12, 2005
Fantastic book for anyone who wants to explore the Spanish Revival look. The book contains great pictures that gives the viewer a true sense of the Mexican-Spanish influence on American architechture.

I used to book to design my own backyard. Explaining the style I was looking for to landscape designers would have been nearly impossible without this book. Now, that my landscaping is done, the book compliments my coffee table nicely and is often times a great conversation piece. A must for anyone who loves Spanish Revival.
