ABBEY'S BOOKSELLER PICK ----- From the author of the fabulous Sydney Art Deco comes this excellent locality guide. Designed as a walking guide to the precinct, it showcases the architectural heritage of the 1920s-30s up to the 60s, but also mentions some of the surviving Victorian villas and terraces of the area. Detailed directions show the flaneur where to see the finest examples and the hidden gems, accompanied with architectural notes and interesting tidbits of information. It is thoroughly well illustrated with the author's photographs, but also the occasional historic illustration, so it makes a fine introductory reference book as well as a useful and practical walking guide. The perfect companion to enhance your viewing pleasure (or to plan for when lockdown ends!) Lindy
