I would rather leave feedback about the seller who was excellent. Why do I now need to rate the item? And you won't let me leave feedback without it.

A truly beautiful book. The buildings remind me of living in Evergreen, Colorado in the 1940's, 50's and 60's. Not all were in this style, but use of logs, stone and very creative. All color photos. Talented creative artistans.
