Review: Great little book; clear, easy to understand and good illustrations
Review: I have The 1930s House Explained, so I knew what to expect from this book. It's got line drawings and photos as well as clear text explaining the features of the house, and it's written clearly so even non-architects get a lot from it. My only negative is that this book seems to concentrate mainly on the grandest Edwardian houses, whereas I really wanted to know about small houses and what you can learn about the lives of "ordinary" people from them. I'd have thought more people are likely to live in an Edwardian terrace than a Lutyens Arts and Crafts house, but they didn't get much of a mention (The 1930s House Explained did explain the features of smaller homes, as well as elaborate and iconic mansions). If you have or know a grand Edwardian house, you'll learn a lot about it from this book, but otherwise it's not as detailed as I'd hoped.

*by Z***Y on 13 September 2010*

I cannot recommend this book series highly enough! Each volume contains a treasure trove of usefula and fascinating information about each type of architecture, and what's more, is fully illustated - not just a windbag of text. No, these books are fun! There are a wealth of diagrams, fully labelled, plus lots of photos to explain all those large and small features of a period house, much of which I hadn't noticed and very much wish I had. These books are an excellent first choice for any student of historical architecture, house renovators, and dolls house modellers, especially the latter.
