NEW FOR SPRING 2013:
In Great Houses of New York, Volume 2, Michael Kathrens continues to explore the most elegant New York City town houses, built for the city’s
business and social elite between 1880 and 1940. Released in 2005, the first
volume profiled 43 important houses, offering a rare and captivating glimpse
into a time of unprecedented architectural and social development of the city. Great
Houses of New York, Volume 2, documents another 37
structures—both celebrated and less well-known—completing the survey of the
city’s most exclusive addresses of the Gilded Age.
Racecourse Architecture is the first comprehensive
survey of racecourse buildings across the world throughout the past four
centuries. Written by Paul Roberts who has been involved in the planning and
designing of racecourses for many years, and Isabelle Taylor, the new book
charts the hitherto untold story of the grandstands, clubhouses, saddling
sheds, totalisators and other associated structures that evoke in bricks and
mortar the rich history of thoroughbred racing.
