Reviews

[Cindy · Rating 3 out of 5]

It's an architecture book, so more detail than I wanted on occasion, but nice ties to the social fabric and he agrees that the windows are too dark and it answered all my questions. A quick read, too, compared to Mont St. Michel and Chartres.

A solid look into the art and history of Chartres Cathedral.
