BATH: PEVSNER CITY GUIDE (YALE) (PB)

This delightful book is the first comprehensive architectural guide to Bath, England's finest Georgian city. It features superb, specially taken colour illustrations throughout and numerous easy-to-use walking maps. The great set-pieces of Bath-the famous Pump Room, The Circus, Royal Crescent-are embedded in a graceful urban landscape developed by a long succession of gifted local architects. The city's Roman roots are represented by the remains of its extraordinary baths, its medieval prosperity by the splendid Abbey. Exquisite villas and terraces on the surrounding hills add further variety.
