wealth of architectural details on castles

This book contains tons of illustrations of castle layouts and is an excellent source of information on castle architecture. It's focus is on the buildings themselves, rather than the social history, as Francis Gies' Life in a Medieval Castle is. If I had one complaint about the book, it's that some of the photographs are too dark, you loose details. It could just be my copy. But it's very noticable next to the nice, crisp line drawings.
