Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 19 years ago
An interesting and educational read. Book easy to carry in beach bag or large handbag. Clear writing with good historic info. Loved that they gave places to see specific styles. Beautifully drawn renderings. Sure made me think more about improving any entrance I own or will own.
