In this book Hollis looks at 13 different buildings, ancient to modern. IN those chapters he tells the history of the building (or as much as is known), discusses historical uses, and restorations—essentially a life history of each of these buildings. Interesting. However, I only found 6 of those ...
Less a history than a collection of narratives, and like many sets of stories, only a few are really good. More diagrams would have helped, I think.
This could be interesting. Some reviews suggest that it's a little touchy-feely, not enough actual history - maybe flip through it to check it out.
