Illustrated with over 350 duotone photographs and floor plans, many published here for the first time,"North Shore Chicago" recounts the stories of Chicago's great industrial and merchant families - including the Armours, Donnelleys, and McCormics - and their creative interaction with both the region's leading architects - David Adler, Daniel Burnham, Howard Van Doren Shaw, and Frank Lloyd Wright - and their national counterparts - Delano and Aldrich, Harrie Lindeberg, and Charles Platt. Their collaboration produced some of the finest examples of American residential architecture of the 20th century.

Very well put together from start to finish. The pages are luxurious to the touch and the binding is amazing. It even comes with a satin book mark. It hits the finest houses on the North Shore and it showcases some of Adlers best work. I agree wholeheartedly with the previous reviewer about the quality of this publishers work. You will not be disappointed in this book, it is well researched and has just he right mix of pictures and text. The B&W photos are just beautiful. Mr. Cohen should be proud of this work and I want to thank him and the publisher for putting out such an wonderful work of art.

I own every book this publisher issues. They are some of the most beautiful books I have in my library (and I have over 4000 books!). With great photography and thorough text, Cohen and Benjamin must have spent years researching this book. Thank you for your efforts.
