"Nothing remotely like it exists. And seldom can such a mass of hard facts have been transformed into a narration of such skill that the literary accomplishment in itself is a delight. This unique work by Alec Clifton-Taylor guides one through all the processes of all the building arts and does so with a witty, courteous scholarship which will attract expert and laymen alike. As a country-book its value is inestimable." - Ronald Blythe.
