Architectural Styles: A Visual Guide

I love this book it’s very easy to understand and learn from

Beautiful pictures and interesting storyline

It's big book with lots of information and illustrations set out nicely, the only thing I would change is the illustration style, I prefer my pen and ink less sketchy with more defined line work, but still a good book worth having.

The book includes short description of each style through history with gorgeous hand sketched drawings and their explanations. Unfortunately some of the important styles or sub styles are skipped.

excellent reference for students, professionals or casual historians
