The libraries of Oxford University are among the finest, but also among the least-known, buildings in the city. Ranging in date from the 13th to the 21st centuries, they incorporate successive changes in internal design and architectural taste. This profusely illustrated book explains these changes though a close study of the library buildings of the University, its departments and its colleges.

This richly illustrated guide to the historical buildings of the Bodleian Library not only makes an attractive keepsake but is also packed with fascinating architectural details about one of the oldest libraries in Britain that has been in continuous use since the Middle Ages.

This work covers the English county of Berkshire. Stretching from the fringes of London, Berkshire originally covered much of present day Oxfordshire. The variety of architecture is, consequently, broad and remarkable, from the towns of the home counties to the farmhouses and churches of its west.
