Story of Architecture - Jonathan Glancey

A Cinderella Story

Advantages: it's an interesting and well written book
Disadvantages: none

Kim Woodburn is best known these days as being the tall bossy one of the pair of ladies on the TV show "How Clean is Your House?" I really enjoy watching this programme (how do people live like that?). Unfortunately when it's over I always get this subliminal urge to go and clean my kitchen!
