Judith Dupre

A gorgeous book, with beautiful illustrations. The devotion to Mary deserves a wide sweep of a book, even though there is a Roman Catholic bent. The collection of art pictured in these pages is tremendous.

Really big book.

Ono or 2 page description of some of the world's most famous skyscrapers. Written in 1996. At that time the Petronas towers in Malaysia were the tallest.
