3.		Architect's Pocket Book from Architectural Press Price: £14.39 Customer Review: Received the book yesterday and my husband (who's an architect), hasn't been able to put it down. He thinks it's brilliant, informative and concise, he's using it now for work he's doing. Would recommend it to any student or Architect who needs reference in an easy to read format.

4.		Metric Handbook: Planning and Design Data (3rd Edition) from Architectural Press Price: £29.69 Customer Review: Here is an area where the old school of design still lingers, the book is very suitable for specific tasks but really needs improving on. Having said that I threw away my copy of Charlotte Baden-Powell's book as soon as I got this - because even this tome is much more useable than hers.

6.		Gardens of the National Trust from National Trust Books Price: £21.00 Customer Review: A very attractive coffe table book, full of high quality images. However, in terms of garden design and maintenance it is a little bit specialist for my taste. Overall, this is one for the garden historian rather than the gardener. Btw - a previous review questions why gardens belonging to the... more info	Customer Rating: 3.5 / 5.0 Click here for more information

7.		A Visual Dictionary of Architecture from John Wiley & Sons Price: £16.24 Customer Review: Having asked for this book as a present I am so glad I did. This has to be THE BEST dictionary on architecture. I also have a non visual dictionary by Oxford but this book far outweighs that one. Being an architecture student, there are still a lot of architectural terms I am not familiar with which... more info	Customer Rating: 5.0 / 5.0 Click here for more information

8.		The Architecture of Happiness from Penguin Price: £6.99 Customer Review: Considering the significance of architecture, the author remarks that beautiful houses falter as guarantors of happiness and can also be accused of failing to improve the characters of those who live in them and proceeds by explaining why this is so. Karl Friedrich Schinkel for example stated that... more info	Customer Rating: 4.5 / 5.0 Click here for more information

9.		Architecture: Form, Space, and Order from John Wiley & Sons Price: £18.89 Customer Review: I read this book in Chinese when I started to learn architecture many yaers ago, and I bought the English version later when I came to the US. I love it, it is one of the best architectural books that you can have.

10.		Spectacular Vernacular: London's 100 Most Extraordinary Buildings from The History Press Ltd Price: £14.99 Customer Review: Looking for a new book on London - for a friend rather than myself - I happened on this one and was persuaded by the fact that it's got so many five-star ratings. It arrived, and I could see why straightaway. At first it was the pictures which did it for me, classy monochrome shots, all clearly shot... more info	Customer Rating: 5.0 / 5.0 Click here for more information
