Not as interesting as guides to whole buildings, but if you need to remember what a quoin is, here's your ideal reference book. Nice, sort of pocket size, with great illustrations. Recommended for any architecture buff.

I needed to use a lot of wikipedia, which I enjoyed but somehow beat the purpose of book.

of what could be done with Baltimore
itself!
With best wishes and fond memories,
