A quick, but beautiful overview of Monet's development and dedication to his property at Giverny. Lovely photographs, but there are some mistakes in editing and/or typesetting. Even so, I still want to retire to live at this property.
Colorful guidebook to the Versailles palace in Paris. The older edition I have has most of the photos in black and white, but there is a good description of the palace, a nice map, and it is a good souvenir.
