Terrific Toronto

This is a wonderful book filled with colorful pictures and interesting text. I expecially appreciated the way the author divided the book between house styles and neighborhoods. Toronto is blessed with wonderful neighborhoods and this book does a commendable job of giving a quick glace at each one. The photos are so vivid and the cross section of homes wonderfully selected. I really didn't know what to expect from this book and I was wonderfully surprised about the text on the different neighborhoods. Very well done, indeed.

A sumptuous feast of beauty

This is a truly wonderful book, packed with gorgeous pictures of lovely old houses. The pictures are all perfect, and they even include some interiors. The Victorian houses are especially interesting, as they're different in style from what we have in the U.S. If you're familiar with the "painted ladies" books, this is a similar idea, with better quality photos. Highly recommended.
