Lowcountry Plantations Today

Summary: Visual Dissapointment
Review: Based on the cover of the book, and being a lover of all things about the Old South, I was anticipating a beautifully illustrated book in the tradition of Deborah Turbeville's "Newport Remembered" or "Versailles--Absolutism and Harmony" by Claire Constans and Jean Mounicq. I found a few interesting photos scattered through the book, but thought it was cast in a dreary light for the most part, and just plain awful in others. NOT a pretty cocktail-table book, if that's what you're looking for. Must admit, though, it is very informative.
