I bought this book as a birthday present for my wife. She loves all things historical and I couldn't have given her anything better. It has opened up a whole new world of places to go and buildings to see which should keep us both busy for some time. If you want to be in somebody's favour then buy this book for them.

I was a little disappointed in this book, as I had hoped for more pictures and information about each castle. It is a good brief summary of the castles. I was hoping for a more variety of photos.
