2 comments about Period Details: A Sourcebook for House Restoration.
- I was a little disappointed by this one. The photos are often not sharp enough to really bring out details. Also, most of the Americal colonial and early 19th c. details pictured are in New York so you get a good look at styles from the region, but not a broad overview. My biggest complaint though is that so much space is devoted to reproduction or historic-inspired details rather than the real thing.
If you're looking for an idea book for adding historic-inspired touches to a home, this is a good choice. As a source for restoration, I think it falls short

1 comments about Light Structures Structures of.
- The author, who is one of the leading experts in the field of tent structures, introduces the basic concepts and methods of design of these structures in a readable, non-technical way. Most valuable are the numerous case studies of some of the best tent structures, (most of which were engineered by Berger) in which he discusses not only the physical characteristics and behavior of these elegant structures, but also their design and construction processes. The numerous dramatic color photographs alone are worth the price of this book. A must for every architect or layman interested in the subject.
