"Must Have" for Colonial Williamsburg fans

I have little to add that won't repeat what other reviews have already said. Great photos, fascinating history of the restoration and a wonderful way to prepare for your next visit. The text alone would make a great audio tour guide (author/publisher, are you listening?)

Buy this book--you won't regret it!

As a big fan of Colonial Williamsburg, I purchased this book years ago. The story of the restoration is really interesting. The beautiful photographs capture the essence of the story--so it's a nice "coffee table" book as well as an engaging read.

Breathtaking, crystal clear documentation

I have checked this book out at the library looking for 'GOOD' photos of some of the older homes and the resconstructed homes from the 1700's. The photos are absolutely breathtakingly crystal, clear, show wonderful asthetic views, and give a simple and linear time frame of ownership and construction/demolition, reconstruction of many of the homes in the Williamsburg area. This book is worth every penny if you buy it for research and historical purposes. Of all the books on Williamsburg that I have ever read (dozens and dozens), this one is the most excellent!
