Book Reviews of California Romantica: Spanish Colonial and Mission-Style Houses
Book Review: Disappointing
Summary: 2 Stars
I purchased this as a research book for work. First off, I was taken aback by the reduced quality of the paper inside the book - very thick, and seemed to be a little bit gritty.
This book is just not that special. Although meticulously researched, I must say that it felt like every house looked the same. The photographs are mostly of the architecture of these structures. It is gorgeous architecture, but after the first two houses, I got bored. Seems like there are pages and pages of shadows on walls, and empty rooms with beamed ceilings.
I recommend the book Courtyard Housing of Los Angeles instead. That book is outstanding and a must have for fans of this California style.
