Anyone who has ever been in a cathedral ...
Anyone who has ever been in a cathedral or a castle MUST read this amazing book with hand-drawn illustrations showing the building process from the felling of the trees for lumber to setting up villages for the workers to live in during the building process which usually took years, sometimes a couple of centuries. Completely fascinating. Book was of excellent quality.Bestätigter Kauf: JaArtikelzustand: Gebraucht
