The University of Chicago, much of which was built in the Gothic style, is a beautiful place, although I can’t really say its beauty is reflected in the pages of this book. It has around 1,000 photos, all of them in black and white. Moreover, they tend to be “artistic” and dark overall. Some of the most beautiful features of the buildings, such as the mosaic floors, the stained glass, the varying color of the stones as you move through campus, and the settings of the buildings which show more are surrounded by gorgeous and colorful trees and flowers, are not reflected at all.

Frankly, I don’t think it does the campus justice. show less
