A History Of Architecture For The Student,… by Professor Banister Fletcher
A lovely early edition of a standard work. Dated (obviously), but a wonderful piece of architectural history.
The standard one-volume work on the subject. Covers all from prehistoric huts to the then (1961) 'modern' architecture. An invaluable resource.
This is "the bible" for architectural history. With a publication history that goes back to the first edition in 1896, this venerable tome is THE reference work when wanting to research a period, a country,
or an architect. It was the book I used when I was an architectural student in the early sixties, and I trust is still the work of choice in architectural schools. Good old Banister Fletcher!
