Scanned images too small to seeBy S. H. PowellThe Kindle edition of this book is full of scanned images that are compressed to a tiny size; rendering the text unreadable and the floor plans inscrutable. Unless you particularly like looking at pictures of pediments and cornices; then; I would not recommend the Kindle version; buy a physical copy.
