Book Reviews of The Construction of Gothic Cathedrals: A Study of Medieval Vault Erection

Book Review: A Gothic Cathedral version of This Old House
Summary: 5 Stars

If you want to know about the details of building a Gothic Cathedral this is IT! I only wish the type front was a little bigger and some of the drawings were enlarged. Some of the construction details are pretty much what we are still doing today.
