Buy this book if for no other reason than the photos. They are skillfully shot and reproduced and bursting with colorful detail. I've spent hours pouring over the beautiful minutia in these pictures.
The reason I've given this book 4stars rather than 5 is because of the annoying typeface employed in the body of text. It's a very light, thin, expanded font whose f's look like P's. It's simply a distracting font which is doubly unfortunately since the author is a good writer who would otherwise be a joy to read if you didn't have to struggle to comprehend the font. But for anyone who loves sacred architecture, this is a must have book.
This is such a beautiful book I bought a second copy to give to a friend.
