Personal Review: Hampton Court Palace: The Official Illustrated
History (Architecture New Titles) by David Souden
My wife and I recently spent the day at Hampton Court Palace while
visiting London. Not having prepared well for the overwhelming beauty
and history we experienced, I decided to order a book to compliment my
visit! This "official illustrated history" was a magnificent read with stunning
photography! I highly recommend a visit to Hampton Court Palace but the
next best thing is to purchase this wonderful book!! I give it a standing
ovation!
