The reading was a tough steak to chew， but the photographs by Palmer are easily worth the look-see。 Unfortunately， the author/editor（s） overlooked a few inconsistencies: 1。 Many buildings are represented as being of later centuries， such as 18th or 19th， but can clearly be seen connected to earlier buildings （14th， 15th etc）。 Just because a building has an 18th century facade， it does NOT mean it is a work of that century。 Many times the timber frames are much older。 Had the author or photograph The reading was a tough steak to chew， but the photographs by Palmer are easily worth the look-see。 Unfortunately， the author/editor（s） overlooked a few inconsistencies: 1。 Many buildings are represented as being of later centuries， such as 18th or 19th， but can clearly be seen connected to earlier buildings （14th， 15th etc）。 Just because a building has an 18th century facade， it does NOT mean it is a work of that century。 Many times the timber frames are much older。 Had the author or photographer simply knocked and interviewed the homeowner（s）， they would've discovered a truth that was not present in this publication。 2。 When a building's upper storey is of greater space than the lower storey， the bit that protrudes is called a jetty， not an overhang。 Overhang is a term fairly exclusive to American architecture that usually refers to roofs or awnings。Other than these minor discrepancies， this book was totally worth the read。 It was an optimistic departure to last book I read on the subject （which had more of an analytic， pessimistic tone）， even if The Most Beautiful is more of the coffee-table travel fare。 。。。more

I thoroughly enjoyed reading through and looking at all the wonderful photographs in this gorgeous book。 I was almost transported to some of these wonderful English villages。 A perfect companion for anyone who loves the English countryside and the beautiful and quaint houses， pubs and inns of it's many villages。 I thoroughly enjoyed reading through and looking at all the wonderful photographs in this gorgeous book。 I was almost transported to some of these wonderful English villages。 A perfect companion for anyone who loves the English countryside and the beautiful and quaint houses， pubs and inns of it's many villages。 。。。more
