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. ( )

one of the best books in the Art & Architecture series published by Konemann - which was excellent - be aware more recent reprints are about a third of the size {height/width} of the first editions ( )

Excellent photography and examples of gothic art. Read this book and you get the general idea, plus the pictures take you there. ( )
