Ten Houses: Peter Forbes and Associates

Rating:
Summary: Nice book
Review: The careful photographs compliment the equally fine details in the buildings of this excellent architect. After a year, I'm still looking at it often.

Rating:
Summary: excellent for students and practicing architects
Review: This is perhaps the best value in pictorial architecture books. For under $20., this book has great photos, straightforeward text, clearly reproduced drawings (including construction details!!), all superbly graphically designed. Even if the architecture doesn't appeal to you, the overall presentation of it in this book will. If you do like the architecture (which I think is a beautiful modern adaption of conventional New England vernacular), then this book is a must-have. You won't find this quality in books two or three times the cost!!
