Title: Too Much History for Such a Slim Book
Review: Unlike the United States, there are thousand year old buildings that are still in use in Great Britain. Any book that calls itself a "Handbook of British Architectural Styles" better be prepared to cover a lot of ground. Unfortunately, this slim trade paperback sized book is unequal to the challange. Major styles are adequately described and the locations of interesting buildings are given. A book like this can save itself from being utterly superficial, if the illustrations are noteworthy. The author's quick sketches do not do justice to the buildings they are trying to capture.The greatest books on British architectural history are Nikolaus Pevsner's series "The Buildings of England." There is a need for something a lot less intimidating. Sadly, "British Architectural Styles" is not that book.
