5.0 out of 5 stars Gorgeous! A must have for Bath-aholics., 6 May 2004
This is a beautiful coffee table book which would make a great present for anyone who adores Bath. It is full of stunning photographs of the city. I particularly love the fact that the photographs range from beautiful scenic photos to quirky pictures of gargoyles! There really is something for everyone in this book. The book covers the history of the city (especially the architecture), but the author also looks at modern Bath. This is a beautiful book and deserves to be on the bookshelf of anyone who loves the city of Bath.

5.0 out of 5 stars Bath, 24 Oct 2009
By Louise (England) - See all my reviews
I initially bought this book for the photographs of Bath which are numerous and absolutely stunning, but when I sat down to read this book I couldn't put it down. This book is full of fascinating historical information brilliantly written by Kirsten Elliott. If you love history, Georgian architecture or just Bath in general then this is a must have book.

5.0 out of 5 stars Bath by Kirsten Elliot, 3 Nov 2009
By E. R. Cottis (Bath England) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
A sumptuous 'coffee table' book which on closer inspection contains a wealth of detailed information on Bath, it's historic and more recent past through to some of it's current highlights and often barely concealed pretentiousness. The photography is breathtakingly good and it inspires readers to follow some of its architectural trails of note and to really enjoy the city as a living entity rather than as the dusty relic often presented in guide books.
