JEFFERSON

Thomas Jefferson was an amazing man, granted, because of his inherited wealth and his slaves doing all the work on his plantation he had all the time in the world..to the manor born so to speak, but still, this man was special. I love Georgian architecture and Jefferson was an amazing interpreter of the style. This book really captures his work, the images are very good and the text highly informative. Eventhough, Monticello is his most famous work, its the UVA campus that I love, it's just perfect. To me that was the apex of his work. Overall, nice book on the architecture of the iconic Jefferson.
