Review
Jones and Woodward walk their way through the grand and the humble and whether critical of full of admiration, they present the best and worst of the city's buildings. * GOOD BOOK GUIDE 1.10.09 * unsurpassed for its sound judgement and pitchy commentaries... comprehensive and authoritative too... a few quirky surprises... At presnt no degree of digital interaction can compete with the rich mix of words, images and plans that make up this guide and, while we still have bookshelves, it should take pride of place. * ARCHITECTURE TODAY - 1.09.09 * scholarly, informative and oftten slyly funny, as well as being more user-friendly than the bulky volumes of Pevsner. I can't reccommend it highly enough -- Rupert Christiansen * THE DAILY TELEGRAPH - 28.09.09 * Architects Edward Jones and Christopher Woodward have updated their extensive 1983 guide... the frequent and well-sized maps allow you to navigate easily and explore the well-described buildings. * ARCHITECT'S JOURNAL - 17.09.09 *
