    Cathedral

    David Macaulay · 1973

    The Gothic cathedral is one of man's most magnificent expressions as well as one of his grandest architectural achievements. Built to the glory of God, each cathedral was created by the ingenuity, skill, and hard work of generations of dedicated people. Text and detailed drawings follow the planning and construction of a magnificent Gothic cathedral in the imaginary French town of Chutreaux during the thirteenth century. - Publisher.

      Wish there was less 'adult' content in it, I'd recommend it more widely. As it is, it's one of the few books I've thrown out, and I recommend David Macaulay's Cathedral instead. :/
