'A unique resource, both of the draughtsman who made them and of architectural history as a whole' -- Inigo 'The book has a value both to the connoisseur, who will delight in the feast of technical mastery that is on display, and also to a more general reader for whom the detailed illustrations and Sands's engaging and informative commentary serve as the perfect introduction to the art of architectural drawing. At a mere GBP35, this book is impossible to resist.' -- William Aslet * Apollo Review *
