1 Contains the details, photos that creates authentic style!
Here's the major pluses of this book, one worth adding to a bookshelf on New Mexican style:
1. Photos of authentic architectural details, many of them now gone or extinct, making this a valuable resource - and one that should be even more valuable in years to come.
2. An opportunity to see the interiors of several old and historic Santa Fe homes, with close-ups of such details as the fireplaces, tin and iron fixtures , doors, gates, window treatments, corbels, etc.
3. Historical information which provides added insight and perspective
All of the above is more than enough to warrant a place on my bookshelf. Now, a few words about what this book is NOT: if you are looking for architectural layouts of homes, complete with specs, etc...this book is not what you want. But if you want a close look at the fine details that can make or break authentic New Mexican style- details such as Corbels, Portal Posts, Doors, Windows, alacenas, Railings, gates and mailboxes- this would be a wonderful addition to your library.
