Summary: A Beautiful Book Of One Man's Exceptional Residences
Comment: If you believe in reincarnation and love old houses, you would surely want to "come back" as Richard Hampton Jenrette! (Who knows, maybe HE is the reinarnation of Alva Erskine Smith Vanderbilt Belmont, a peer, certainly, in the collection of wonderful houses.)
This man has the most exquisite taste, a passion for historic houses and the decorative arts, and the means to indulge a lifestyle that can simply be described as sublime.
This book is NOT a "how to" manual. It is an elegant recollection of a number of houses he has owned and obviously loved over the course of many years.

Summary: A nice coffee table book but...
Comment: ...I would not recommend it to anyone looking for info on historical houses or their restoration...basically he just tells about how he found a particular house and then bought it...he also gives some of the social history associated with each house...no details regarding the actual restorations...very little information regarding the architecture...frustrating little floorplans with no details...he doesn't seem to possess any insight regarding the architectrual significance of these places...if it was pretty he bought it and here are some pictures.
