Hello,

Does some one know where I can find information on the book 'castellated and domestic architecture of Scotland'. I am known with the little information on amazon.co.uk and on mercatpress.com. But maybe some one knows where i can find an picture how the book looks like or knows where I can find an extensive recension on the books.

I am in doubt if I should buy the book.

Thx in advance for the info and advice.

hi Chris,

you are welcome.

Youre recession sounds good. I am also still in doubt, and i am thinking that mercatt press also will get me over with its price. Every one says it are good books, but is a large amount to pay and you never know.
