A perfect Christmas present - By: Litchfield, 14 Nov 2008 
Just when the world seems to be collapsingin economic ruin, Mount gives us a book-full of reasons to take pleasurein what we see around us. I'll be buying several copies to give to people this Christmas - & I expect to see this charming, clever, hugely entertaining tome popping upin people's homes for years to come. Mount has staked a powerful claim to be the James Lees-Milne of our time.
A Lust for Intelligence - By: Mr. Stephen Robinson, 04 Nov 2008 Mount is to be congratulated on producing a study which is lucid & funny, & equally useful to the amateur fan as well as the architectural expert. His great gift is to make what is (too often) solemn great fun. He did it with Latin; now he has done it with buildings.
