[white knight]

This:


Which is both a fantastic book (because it's filled from cover to cover with wonderful detailed colour plates) and a bit of a dissapointment on account of nearly all of the buildings being from France (and a few from other countries), where I was hoping there'd be some UK ones as well since that's the main reason I got it.

though it's actually a gift for my daughter

[white knight]

That looks great, does the whole book have art like that?

[commissarmoody]

Pretty cool Prof. I bet she will enjoy it.

[Wirelizard]

Both very cool books! White Knight, we now expect a series of Thunderchicken-esque awesome 19th C buildings from you, of course!

2 particular gaming-related books for my birthday today - the GASLIGHT Compendium (I will now be contacting all GASLIGHT players in a 50-mile radius and saying 'can I come to yours to play, pleeeeeease?') and The DIctoinary of Imaginary Places - so expect my postings about Ruritania to come with proper academic referencing!

This from Abe Books for the handsome sum of 63p plus 2.89 shipping!!

Fighting for Britain -- African Soldiers in the Second World War by David Killingray. An academic book, but rather interesting and well written.

Not sure how much info you can find in the links below (all downloadable via Archive.org) that's useful to you as most date to a few years after Victoria's death, but might still be worth leafing thru as Architecture didn't change immediately. Anyways, some nice pics in those:

The modern home; a book of British domestic architecture for moderate incomes; a companion volume to "The British home of to-day"; (1906)

I received a copy of the Dark Age Apocalypse core rule book in the mail the other day. Great looking book for a good game. I can't wait to play a few more games of it. It's been a few months since we played last.
