Review:

"Some of America's finest architecture can be found around the grassy quads of college campuses, a heritage that Princeton Architectural Press is showcasting in a series called The Campus Guides. The books, which illustrate how academic goals were developed and expressed through campus design, include artful maps, photographs, archival drawings, and historical narratives written by architects or professors of architectural history."
