Product Description
Product Description
Richard Norman Shaw (1831–1912) was the most fertile, representative, and influential British domestic architect of his time. This new edition of Andrew Saint’s best-selling book on Shaw and his work—hailed in its original version as “a masterpiece among architectural biographies” by the Evening Standard—features a completely revised text and new introduction and is generously illustrated with new color photographs, many specially commissioned.
“Outstanding. . . . A most readable biography as well as a scholarly assessment of Shaw’s work.”—Adam Fergusson, Sunday Times (on the original edition) --This text refers to the Hardcover edition.

A Classic Standard "must have" for anyone intrested in architecture. Good photos and excellant information, including new information not in the first edition. All Students (and anyone) that cannot travel to see the actual architecture should own this book !!!
