Geoffrey Tyack, Simon Bradley, and Nikolaus Pevsner
'These volumes are fuller of life than ever.' — Robert Harbison, Building Design
'Yale University Press deserves all the plaudits it has already received for perpetuating the series and bringing it as close to perfection as is possible in an imperfect world.' — Ferdinand Mount, Times Literary Supplement
“As always the detailed descriptions give all the information anyone could want and there is a superb introduction and good indices.”— E.B, Contemporary Review
“…..this publication is a remarkable achievement that will provide an invaluable reference for many years to come.”—Duncan Coe, The Society for Medieval Archaeology
“The obvious care that has gone into the background research makes this a book to be treasured. Far from being just a work of reference, however, it actively encourages readers to explore architecture for themselves. Like all good guides, it opens up worlds, enriching experience by drawing attention to significant features – leading to renewed appreciation of the built heritage of Berkshire.”—Matt Edgeworth, Medieval Settlement Research 25
“…quite simply, magnificent…Tyack brilliantly reveals the hidden delights that can be found throughout the county… Pevsner Berkshire is a subtle and sensitive piece of restoration…a triumph: an essential read for any serious local historian as well as an invaluable companion for every visitor to the county.”—William Whyte, Oxoniensia Vol.76
