"great book!" according to squidward Q. tentacles. This is a great book,it has many beautiful pictures.. Good Guidebook Craig Tiano I enjoyed the breadth of the book. But, unfortunately, it's a mile wide and an inch deep. The one or two pages dedicated to each site makes it rather difficult to determine whether it's reasonable to travel any distance to any particular property. I would have preferred the book been separated into a dozen volumes, each covering one area, since the book as presented can only be used when augmented with other sources.. "America's great houses" according to Wendy Hale. Good book! Lots of info and great colored photos. Anyone interested in American architecture and history will enjoy this book. It's helpful to read about a particular house before going to visit it, and it's fun to read about it again after you've seen it. Recommend. Booklady
