A. Manoukian said Reliable. This book is exactly what I was looking for regarding gothic structures, specially of gothic churches. It contains graphic references of both ornaments and structures, which are very useful to closely study gothic art, or as reference for design. "Great!" according to Edgar. Everything great!
