Texas Dreaming When I picked up this book and flipped through it, I must say that I was a bit surprised, I had expected a book on homes of different ages from different eras. What this book is, however, is a book on new grand Texas homes, and they are for the most part quite spectacular. The images are vivid and well photographed and the homes chosen are some of the finest built in Texas in the last few years. I found the text to be interesting enough, but the real reason to get this book is the images, which are amazing. If you are someone intersted in the best new mansions built in the Lone Star State then you will not be disappointed in this book, if however, you are looking for a book on grand houses from diffent eras, then you will be disappointed indeed.
