Traditional Construction Patterns: Design and Detail Rules-of-Thumb from McGraw-Hill Professional Price: $29.37 Customer Review:  The stuff explained in this book are so elemetary that nobody should need to be told about them.

Creating a New Old House: Yesterday's Character for Today's Home (American Institute Architects) from Taunton Price: $21.57 Customer Review:  The four words are "Spend lots of money". I suppose it should be assumed that if you want to build a new house that looks old, you have to spend more money than for a comparable 'new' new house. But I doubt any of these houses could be built for less than $1 million and several, much more. More... |

Theory of Mouldings (Classical America Series in Art and Architecture) from W. W. Norton & Company Price: $16.47 Customer Review: While this may be a serious study of moulding theory, the detailed drawing and illustrations provided are of little or no use. The 6" X 9" format is partly to blame and less than full page views for what were surely at least 18" X 24" drawings originally. Illustrations and drawings are essential for... |

I don't pretend to be an expert but it sure told me things I didn't know! For instance, I assumed Colonial houses were white because most of what you... |
