Older now, but still conveys the architectural spirit of the region. Time for an update - maybe Jamaican Style...all that wrought iron and colour deserves documentation.

Lot's of pretty pictures!

[Frederic · Rating 1 out of 5]

Although purporting to document a "Caribbean style", this is really a collection of upscale colonialist houses, from only a few of the islands of the Caribbean and essentially ignoring the Spanish-speaking Caribbean. Pretty pictures, if you want to imagine yourself a rich white colonial sitting on a veranda, but doesn't begin to capture the range of the Caribbean.

Fabulous book on Carribean tropical architecture.

[Ron · Rating 4 out of 5]

A memorable look at historic plantations, inviting verandahs & colorful gardens. Makes you want to go on a vacation.

Authentic.
