Bernard Maybeck. Artisan, Architect, Artist

Rating:
Summary: Great architect but the book could use some work
Review: Cardwell does a good job discussing Maybeck's life and work and his effect on Bay Area architecture. Unfortunately, the pictures are black and white and they lack the punch that other Maybeck books have because of that. If you're interested in Maybeck however, it might be worth reading what Cardwell has to say about him given his close, personal relationship with him.
