SIGNED by Brendan Gill to the half-title page.

Lush and beautifully architected and decorated houses with magnificent views, swimming pools, and gardens are described and photographed in brilliant color and striking black-and-white plates in this quality book production.

Many of the house owners are also photographed in their home settings, including a striking color photograph of Zsa Zsa Gabor in a see-through robe, sitting next to a basket of flowers on the end of her elaborately canopied bed.

An excellent view of creative landscaping and architecture, and a peek at where some of the rich and famous live.

Slightly faded to lower edges of covers, else very good in blue linen with gilt embossed titles to the spine; in a price-clipped, slightly scratched very good plus dust jacket with a minor abrasion to the rear flap fold.

An important architecture history.

A lovely presentable gift item with striking photographs.

Square quarto; 216 pages; index.
