If one stops to compare gothic architecture with modern architecture there would be no question as to whether or not the human race is devolving. ( ) This is a real coffee table book. It could sit in front of you, decorative in itself, and for more than a year you could look at a page or two every day and marvel at the wonderful architects and buildings of the past and the stunning photographers and their work in the present. Its the kind of book that only the very, very lucky get given for Christmas. no reviews | add a review
