Classic New Orleans

The photography in this book is spectacular. It would make an extraordinary gift if you could bring yourself to give it up.

This book does such a good job at capturing St. Charles, I am familiar with the area and this book presents the real beauty of the mansions of the Ave. The photographs are outstanding and the images are richly presented. The photos are so vivid. My only qualm is that there are not more pictures of the exterior of the houses, that would have made it a five star book. If you enjoy books beautifully presenting gilded age grandure then you should consider adding this to your collection.
