I purchased this book at the Newport Historical Society on a recent daytrip. If you are interested in the mansions, this book describes the interior, exterior, occupants, and how they were built. The photography is amazing, and allows you to take a closer look than the tours. If you've ever been in the breakers, the famous Vanderbilt home, it's too overwhelming to take it all in as you're inside, and the book is a helpful resource. I wish it covered some of the mansions not perserved by the socitety, but I suppose since some on Bellevue are still family homes (!!) this would explain some obvious exclusions.
