title: The Illustrated History of Oxford University
author: John Prest
description: `it offers a wide and unhackneyed choice of over 200 well-captioned illustrations packed into some 400 pages ... John Prest, and his nine contributors have made this far more than another Oxford picture book ... If appeal subscribers want to know what Oxford has given to the world, this book should help to tell them.' The Oxford Times<br /><br />'lavish book ... It's essential reading for anyone who wants to know more about the fascinating and colourful background of our unique university city and the sometimes bloody rivalry between town and gown.' Oxford Star<br /><br />'well produced book, essential reference for anyone wanting to learn more about the quirky story that produced this beautiful city' Christopher Koenig, Oxford Star<br /><br />'Oxford University Press's gorgeous new L25 Illustrated History of Oxford University ... the first full-blown history of the university' Don Chapman, Oxford Mail<br /><br />'the illustrations are excellent, time and again finding some unfamiliar building, or unfamiliar aspect of a familiar building to show' Auberon Waugh, Daily Telegraph<br /><br />'This handsome book is indeed illustrated splendidly, and about Oxford University.' Anthony Quinton, London Evening Standard<br /><br />'it has smooth, acid-free, quarto pages, beautifully printed, sturdily bound and profusely illustrated ... Scholars will still want the much more expensive eight-volume History, which has been slowly appearing since 1984; but many, including tourists and the economical, will settle for this resplendent account in one book.' Times Literary Supplement<br /><br />'solidly informative ... much which will interest the specialist as well as the general reader' R.D. Anderson, University of Edinburgh, History, No. 255, February 1994
