Abandoned Castles

Beautiful pictures, and provided good descriptions.

Ordered this book and received a used and torn book cover and water warped pages, exchanged and recievef another torn up book. Embarrassed as it was given as a gift.

This is a really beautiful book. One of the pictures indeed helped shape my latest vacation, as I had to go see the place. The images of abandoned castles are very evocative. I wouldn't have called some of the more recent structures castles, but that's just me.

Beautiful book. I saw a preview of this book at MSN news site, they had an article with several of the books pictures featured in a slide show. I went on Amazon and ordered it right away. The photography is glorious, and the subject so haunting. Would love to travel forever from one castle to another!

Beautiful photographs of castles you didn't know existed in gorgeous countrysides you'll never get to see in person. And what little history the author provides is interesting, too.

I know you aren’t supposed to judge a book by its cover, but I don’t think that’s true of coffee table books. The cover of this book looks very ‘80’s. The picture in the description doesn’t reflect the (lack of) quality. Many of the pictures are rather grainy; not something I had expected of a book with modern crystal clear photography and print quality readily available. There were many castles I was hoping to see that were not included. It’s a pretty book to borrow from a library, which is what wish I had done.

This book is Right up my alley. Since I was a child I was facinated with the castles of Europe. Having a book about abandoned castles is the icing on the cake!

As expected!

This book contains some beautiful images of Castles but the information about each one is very limited. It's a book you can pick up and put easily though and open it randomly to look at a different castle. I do feel though much more information and pictures about each one is easily available on line. This book is best served as very light reading or a reference guide to use to identify a castle to then do further research about.The copy I recieved I think had previously been returned as the page for Corfe castle as shown of the cover had some sort of forgien debris stuck to it that had damaged the page slightly.

VERY INTERESTING BOOK WITH EXCELLENT COLOUR PHOTOS AND LIMITED TEXT [JUST ENOUGH TO BE INFORMATIVE WITH A BRIEF HISTORY ON EACH CASTLE] ALL IN ALL AN IDEAL COFFEE TABLE BOOK TO BROWSE THRU AT ONES LEISURE

I have had 2 copies but both are Christmas presents so I don't know Iif my family will like the books. I think they are very interesting and I know they will be well received

Absolutely beautiful book. The images are exquisite and each have a helpful information about each castle.

Lovely photos but not very much information about each place
