Book Suggestion - The Louisville Guide

While I was browsing in the book store the other day, I came across a book called The Louisville Guide. If you are interested in Louisville architecture, this is the book to get. The book lists brief descriptions of almost every building of note in Louisville. You get to learn a little bit about the architecture of the buildings as well as the history. It also gives you a little history lesson on all the different commercial districts. And it is full of pictures (albeit black and white). I know this does not have anything to do with current Louisville developments, but as somebody famous once said, in order to understand the future you have to understand the past!
Amazon will actually let you look at some of the stuff you can find in the book. To sum it all up, I have not found a more complete guide to Louisville architecture anywhere else. And it's cheap, too!
