[Ashley · Rating 4 out of 5]

Very interesting, though I tend to feel that much of the value is in the way in which this book is illustrated and the captions for the images. The actual text, though also valuable and educational, tends toward the dry (which isn't unexpected, but is unfortunate). The illustrations and overall content, however, are a really interesting introduction to vernacular architecture in Britain.
