Nice, but tiny photos
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 17 years ago
Very well researched and written, but I was continually nagged by the persistent thought "I wish the pictures were bigger." When I say "small" I mean "small."
Excellent portrayal of styles

This book is wonderfully organized. The description of the styles and the economic environment in which they were hatched is beautifully done. Wonderful photos and illustrations too.
CLASSIC NEWPORT

Frankly, they could not create enough books on Newport. It is blessed with so many wonderful buildings and an idealic setting. This book is well researched and the visuals are top notch. If you have any interest in Gilded Age opulance or just enjoy owning wonderful books, then I highly recommend this book.
