I've read a few different books about Charles Rennie Mackintosh now, and I think this has been one of the more interesting ones, despite being a lightweight overview, perhaps aimed at the more casual reader. It covers not only his well known architectural work, but also shows his furniture design, some textiles, his watercolours - which vary from beautiful stylised renditions of flowers to distinctive landscapes. This wider overview showing the diversity of his work made it more interesting than other similar books out there.

pretty helpful in my research about charles mackintosh but does get a bit wordy at times.

3 stars.
