Book Reviews of Cuba: 400 Years of Architectural Heritage
Book Review: Such a deal for a LARGE paperback of excellent quality.
Summary: 5 Stars
First of all, Amazon should start stating the SIZE of their books. This one is slightly used and large (MY COPY), no problem; the pictures inside are all very well done. The photographer, Andrea Brizzi, is no slouch, waiting for the "golden hour" in many exposures, they are warm and well detailed, and just plain excellent, altough some interior shots could have had a bit more fill flash. No amateur or pseudo-expert photography here. Print quality, despite the fact that this is a large soft cover book, is superb. Even the printing ink smells bood. BUY THIS BOOK!!

Exquisite, rare photographs and timely, illuminating commentary reveal a rich architectural history waiting to be rediscovered as travel to Cuba burgeons among Canadian, European, and Latin American tourists and gradually becomes more accessible to visitors from the United States as well.The lucid, intelligent text and superb photographs shot exclusively for this book present the architectural treasures of the entire island, from the first India bohíos, early colonial structures, and Mudéjar craftsmanship to baroque churches, classically inspired civic buildings, ambitious modernist designs, and present-day preservation work. Now in this practical paperback edition, this unique reference source will be valued by architects, preservationists, historians, students, and armchair and actual travelers.
