Vipul B. VarshneyLucknow: The City of Heritage & Culture A Walk Through History

Amazing Quality with a good price. If you are interested in the topic then go ahead you won't regret it.

I would like to congratulate the author Vipul Varshney and photographer, Ajaish Jaiswal, for their joint efforts in bringing forth this magnificent tome for Lucknowphiles. Lucknow, as a city, continues to evoke a sense of challenge and mystique for authors. The result is that after Delhi, this city generates a continuous stream of books on its heritage, art, culture, food, clothes, music, 1857..... something must be really special in this capital city of UP. To stand out and remain as a prominent publication on Lucknow is the challenge for most authors. Vipul and Ajaish have succeeded remarkably well in this regard.To refer to it as a coffee table book, would be to demean the efforts of the authors. It is a serious book, with a lot of historical detail thrown in, coupled with dazzling contemporary photographs. But my favorites are the architectural renditions, which are not found in any other comparable book.

Too over priced for the content it has.
