Gem of a city, Gem of a book.
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 14 years ago
Even though UVA Press released this book as a second edition in 1988, it was originally published in 1968, and that is the date readers should understand when considering this material. Don't let the fact that this publication is dated put you off. First, it's very well done, and the entries are exceptionally well chosen. Coverage is limited to downtown Richmond and its inner neighborhoods. There is no coverage of outer limits or suburbs. Perhaps the best thing about this book (and about Richmond) is that almost every single structure featured here still stands. That makes this guide useful even today, when many cities destroy their historic fabric making outdated architecture guides truly outdated. This one is not that way. It's a lovely little book that will help you appreciate Richmond's rich and remaining history.
