"I love the easy break down of basically all the architectural styles in the US in modern times. Not overloaded with text, the info is there, but it also uses lots of great simple sketches to get the point across."
"I love flipping through this book - probably not a book for actual architectual students, but great for the everyday gal interested in learning more about her immediate surroundings."
