Very well put together from start to finish. The pages are luxurious to the touch and the binding is amazing. It even comes with a satin book mark. It hits the finest houses on the North Shore and it showcases some of Adlers best work. I agree wholeheartedly with the previous reviewer about the quality of this publishers work. You will not be disappointed in this book, it is well researched and has just he right mix of pictures and text. The B&W photos are just beautiful. Mr. Cohen should be proud of this work and I want to thank him and the publisher for putting out such an wonderful work of art.

Another great book from Acanthus Press.

I own every book this publisher issues. They are some of the most beautiful books I have in my library (and I have over 4000 books!). With great photography and thorough text, Cohen and Benjamin must have spent years researching this book. Thank you for your efforts.
