Cathedrals of England, Scotland and Wales (The Country Series)

Rating:
Summary: solid overview of glorious medieval architecture
Review: I bought this book thirteen years ago and still treasure it. Though the information on each cathedral is, at times, overly extensive for the layman, it's nonetheless an informative, enjoyable read that will make you marvel at the incredibly beautiful and inspiring architecture of medieval churches.

Ah, if only churches nowadays were built in the same style (and with the same dedication and enthusiasm) as they were in the Middle Ages. The photographs in the book are outstanding so it will also make a terrific coffee table accent.
