Frozen Music: A History of Portland Architecture

While A Customer's review is dead-on, his rating is much too brutal. Frozen Music's organization is admittedly nonlinear, but there is material here that just can't be found anywhere else. (Witness the extensive section on Van Evera Bailey.) And the book's starkly beautiful black-and-white photos are worth the price of admission alone.
