Here's a book on American domestic architecture that approaches the subject from a practical standpoint. Langdon treats the houses for what they are: residences, places to be lived in. He doesn't simply tell the "what" about them, he tells the "why," which often is more interesting: why that townhouse development was based on a zero-lot-line concept, why that particular floor plan is "live-able," why certain building materials were favored in another residence. The photos are striking, the book as a whole is very attractive. Home owners and buyers, architects, and developers will be interested in the variety of dwellings covered: from row houses and tract homes to one-of-a-kind houses and high-rise condos. Recommended for special libraries, and for public libraries with large architectural collections. 255 pages, does NOT fit into Priority Envelope! Stewart, Tabori & Chang Inc 0-941434-96-6 / 9780941434966
