In "American Architects and Their Books to 1840-1915," twelve distinguished historians of architecture discuss the books that inspired architects, and the books the architects themselves produced. They examine the multifaceted relationship of nineteenth and early twentieth-century architects to print culture-the literary works that architects collected, used, argued over, wrote, illustrated, designed, printed, were inspired by, cribbed from, educated clients with, advertised their services through, designed libraries for, or just plain enjoyed.
