Summary: Pretty good, but...
Comment: They say that nothing is ever as good as the original, and this book is no exception. Still, this is an excellent book and I would recommend it to anyone looking for a guide to America's architectural heritage. This book was originally two volumes released sometime in the '60s. It has been condensed into one volume for this reprint, at the expense of some very informative articles, great pictures and in some cases, the houses themselves. They have added addresses and websites, however, which sort of makes up for the scrapped articles and pics (which can be found on many of the websites).
Rating: 5
Summary: Beautiful book
Comment: This beautifully designed book brings these mansions to life! I learned more about the homes and their owners than I did on the tours in the mansions themselves! It is a must have before or after you visit the homes!
Rating: 5
Summary: Hearths of the Rich,Famous,and Infamous
Comment: This is one great book! Without leaving your chair you are transported across time and distance into the homes of the rich and/or famous. Not only does this book go into the history and architecture of each mansion,it is also loaded with anecdotal info that takes you into the minds and hearts of the builders and residents of these architectural treasures. It loaded with lots of beautiful pictures that really enchance the stories. I leave this book on my coffeetable and it always provokes interesting converation. I highly recommend this book.
