The Majesty of Charleston

Part history, part travel guide, and part photo essay, this lovely book would be wonderful for anyone traveling to Charleston or for an armchair traveler like myself. I loved it, especially the gorgeous photos of the interiors and exteriors of the historic buildings (mansions, churches, small homes, museums,etc.) that a visitor would see on a walking tour of the city. Beney managed to capture all of the legendary charm of this beautiful city with his camera while giving the reader quite a bit of historic information.My only complaint is that the author put the map of Charleston in the back of the book and I did not realize it was there ---a map would have been helpful while I was talking my "tour"!
