Authoritative, of course. But also unexpectedly delightful: inside reams of dense prose there are occasionally to be found acerbic little asides, like Easter eggs, which give this reader much pleasure.

A stunning book showing the true width of Glasgow's building designs down through the centuries. Glasgow's real gem though is its scale and breadth of Victorian architecture, so much having survived WW2, fires and the wrecker's ball. This book points you in all the right directions to go and look but the photography allows you a truly nice alternative.
