British Architectural Books and Writers - 1556-1785

Informationen zum Autor Eileen Harris likes to move and has tried many different areas of the U.S. Right now she is living in the Deep South but believes another move is in her future. Her writing may be set anywhere from upstate New York to the Arizona desert, or anywhere in-between. She writes when a book comes along asking to be written. The rest of the time she spends taking advantage of the opportunities and delights of her current locale. Klappentext This 1990 account of architectural books printed in Britain surveys a body of complex literature largely uncharted in bibliographical terms.
