Why read it?
1 author picked Liverpool as one of their favorite books. Why do they recommend it?
Liverpool’s Architecture represents all schools, styles, and tastes, and this book captures exactly that using glorious colour plates for each of the 226 buildings in the book. Each image is supported by a readable but detailed write-up on the history of the building, and an analysis of its style and composition. It also talks about the respective architects, and gives dates and other statistical information where appropriate.
I love this book because it is a tour-de-force by a respected historian and architect who loved his work, and who loved his city. This shows in the book.
From Ken's list on Liverpool and Merseyside history.
