Title: One really, really awful book
Review: A reference guide to Great Britain's architecture that fails to include Durham Cathedral?? Unbelievable. Not only was it once voted "World's Best Building" by an international panel of architectural historians it is, by common consent, the supreme example in Britain of Romanesque architecture, quite apart from exhibiting the very first stirrings of the Gothic in the vaulting of the choir.This omission alone (and I'm not even going to bother listing all the other glaring gaps) indicates that this excuse for a book can in no way be taken seriously as a reference guide. Do yourselves a favour and don't buy it.
