London holds special appeal for Americans: it speaks our language, or, rather, we speak its--although some Londoners would find that thought arguable in either direction. Nonetheless, London's architecture reflects history we've learned, literature we've read, and royalty we've either loved or hated. One Thousand Buildings of London offers dazzling black-and-white photographs and historical and architectural descriptions--of old buildings and new, public and private. It's a neighborhood-by-neighborhood tour, organized by postal zone, with maps showing the buildings featured. Weighing almost six pounds, it's hardly a tuck-in-the-tote guide. It's better to enjoy it at home in your reading chair--and make notes for a walking tour! Also available: One Thousand Buildings of Paris and One Thousand New York Buildings
