"Facinatingly detailed illustrations of a cathedral in different phases of development and construction! The text was informative, but a little dry at times."
"A fantastic book that puts the architecture into the larger story of a town and culture. Fantastic drawings. Great detail. Insightful text. Like all of Macaulay's books: HIGHLY RECOMMENDED!"
"Thank goodness for the illustrations, because I wouldn't have enjoyed following the text without them. It was very interesting learning the procedure for building a cathedral, and I'm in awe of what the people had to go through to accomplish it. I was especially interested in the process the glass makers used to create the colored glass windows."
