Customer Review:

If you like old houses, (or at least early 20th Century houses) or you want to get a feel for some of the social history of the period, this is a wonderful book.

Small Houses: Contemporary Residential Architecture
from Universe
Price: $23.10

Customer Review:

A good book with some nice case studies. Not a bad addition to my reference library. I'm giving it 3 stars only because a good 1/4 of the featured homes are not that great and seemed out of place in this book.
