I must say that I mostly just looked at the pictures in this book. I love "A Room With a View" of course LOVE Florence. I would give this a five star rating if I had read the text and could make a better judgement. The pictures are lovely-so next time you are at Brittany's you can sit and look through it.

Stunning picture, book for my favorite Merchant and Ivory films, Maurice, Howards End, The Remains of the Day, and A Room With a View. Want to frame a few of the images. Keepsake perfection.

Beautiful pictures and background info on some of my favorite movies (particularly "A Room With A View").
