Slott och salar i Sverige by Massimo Listri and Daniel Rey
This is a book about Swedish castles and mansions and mentions several from the 18th century. The photos in the book are really beautiful, but other than that I was pretty disappointed with this book. Every castle or mansion gets a chapter, but there is very little real information. There are mostly anecdotes and speculations and pretty much nothing about historical architecture or interior decorating. Another big problem with the book is that there are no captions, nothing is told about the beautiful rooms and buildings in the pictures. I’m glad I have the book because of the photos, but I would not recommend it if you actually want to learn something.
The book is published in both Swedish, English and Italian. In English as Great Houses in Sweden and in italian as Interni di Svezia.

Jag har sneglat på denna boken, vilken tur att jag inte köpte den om den nu är en besvikelse. Jag är gärna ute efter lite mer än bara fina bilder, faktiskt.
Jättefin sida du har här föresten!

Jag är förvisso hiskeligt sen att kommentera, men ska man läsa böcker om svenska slott och salar så ska man läsa Håkan Groths två böcker.
Jag kommer inte ihåg exakta titlarna, men den ena handlar om barock och rokoko (mest rokoko) och den andra om nyklassicismen.
