Torn between two and three stars here...

Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on January 14, 2006

Well, it's not the worst field guide I ever saw but as a previous reviewer said, it has some serious flaws. Most notably, I struggled to focus on the wee tiny numbers that identify the architectural characteristics.

Man, those are some small numbers. And sometimes they get so clustered together, you're not sure which number goes with which architectural feature.

The long, thin layout of the graphics works against this book, too. The pictures of houses just don't fit well in this format.

And (sadly), I agree that some of the photos are a little washed out. With all that said, I do believe you can learn something from every book and this book does contain a wealth of information.

Lacking in visuals, but jam packed with information

Some wonderful information in the book. As a lover of American architecture, I enjoyed so many historical tidbits. Unfortunately, the book had some less than clear photos and illustrations. In spite of the mediocre visuals, I felt the information certainly made up for this. The author kindly gave locations of the featured structures, should one be so inclined to visit in person.

I've been looking for a book like this for years. While it's not in color, and some of the pictures in the book are a little grainy, the information is exactly what I wanted. The book is also a good size for keeping in the glove compartment of the car.
