"The most authoritative dictionary of the language spoken by the built environment . . . McAlester's book is excellent for the layperson who wants to wander about the neighborhood with a bit more authority, or perhaps for the homeowner who can't decide what kind of windows might look best. It's also useful to those of us who study preservation professionally, to bring our insistence that buildings are just as alive as plants--and just as worthy of careful, affectionate attention--into the broader cultural conversation about urban spaces. That conversation, in which the most mundane elements of building design are cast as characters in the story of a city, turns the streetscape into something greater than the brick and limestone it's made of. It's alive, noisy--and demands our close attention."  --Angela Serratore, The New York Times Magazine "Magisterial . . .

    Events surrounding this, is one of the oddest. Seller had 2nd book of interest. A quarry if matching the price of a half a dozen other sellers on the EXACT item as Trinity's had "Make Offer" in listing + if combined shipping policy was an option; "Thank You" was the reply. Trinity refused offer, but would combined. Then 1 week later the book(s) are in the state of origin. Bought 2nd book from 2nd seller + saved💲. Original Trinity listing VANISHED. Would buy again, Books where package GREAT!🤗!

    Best guide to American houses

    I had the original printing and it was fantastic. Wore the book out! Simple, concise drawings that tell you everything you might want to know about house styles in America. Side by side comparison pictures and drawings of houses and elements of houses from roof lines to window shapes and doors and elevations. Excellent guide to houses. You will know the difference between Queen Anne style to 2nd Empire to Cape Cod and everything in between. Highly recommend!
