Product Description

Review

'Brilliant, offbeat celebration . . . Harry Mount offers an uncluttered survey of British architectural history and clear, memorable explanations. It is packed with intelligent tips . . . Mounts is an irreverent entertaining guide' --Thomas Marks, DAILY TELEGRAPH

Review

'It's a stroll, a jaunt, possibly a meander, taking the reader through all the architectural periods, around most building types and down numerous strange-smelling alleys. In his previous book, AMO, AMAS, AMAT, Harry Mount succeeded in introducing Latin to an audience that had not known that it was equal to the classics. Here he does the same for architecture. Clearly he is passionate about it; the enthusiasm rubs off'

5.0 out of 5 stars A Lust for Intelligence, 4 Nov 2008

By	Mr. Stephen Robinson - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

Mount is to be congratulated on producing a study which is lucid and funny, and equally useful to the amateur fan as well as the architectural expert. His great gift is to make what is (too often) solemn great fun. He did it with Latin; now he has done it with buildings.

5.0 out of 5 stars A perfect Christmas present, 14 Nov 2008

By	Litchfield (CT) - See all my reviews

Just when the world seems to be collapsing in economic ruin, Mount gives us a book-full of reasons to take pleasure in what we see around us. I'll be buying several copies to give to people this Christmas - and I expect to see this charming, clever, hugely entertaining tome popping up in people's homes for years to come. Mount has staked a powerful claim to be the James Lees-Milne of our time.
