Hudson River Mansions,
By "waterstn" (USA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Great Houses of the Hudson River (Hardcover)
This book is fantasic! I highly recommend it. It has loads of spectacular color photographs, and the mansions are breath taking. Being someone who has never visisted the area, this book really makes me consider a trip to New York, if only to see these mansions.

Mansions For Miles,
By Shannon Deason - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Great Houses of the Hudson River (Hardcover)
This is a nice overview of the best of the estates along the Hudson. The book give a nice short history on the houses presented and the photos are nice, though the pictures could be more crisp. Having said that, I did enjoy the book and was just amazed at the variety in the styles of the houses from period to period; really a very informative book. If you are interested in this sort of thing, then you will certainly be pleased with this book, though the $50.00 price tag is a bit daunting.

Makes you want to go see them for yourself!,
By Karen - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Great Houses of the Hudson River (Hardcover)
If you love historical architecture, and the histories of old homes, then you shouldn't miss this book. The photographs alone make this a book worth owning, but the author has also included well written, indepth, and informative stories about these incrediable homes, their builders, owners and subsiquent owners. Reading this book has encouraged me to plan a trip to visit to the Hudson River Valley to see these beautiful places for myself.
