First published as London: The Art of Georgian Building, this book has been widely acclaimed as a classic study of London's town houses built between 1700 and 1821 - the greatest period of British architecture. Dan Cruickshank's text, combined with numerous photographs and Peter Wyld's superbly executed measured drawings of facades and details, is a unique record of these buildings. Now, this book has been re-issued at £14.99.

This is the first study which has seriously and thoroughly examined the English post-Renaissance vernacular background for the famous Georgian houses of Virginia (ca. 1710-1760), and related them exhaustively to their American counter-parts.
