Title: La cathédrale de Reims
First published: 2007
Description: A fairly detailed monograph on the evolution, construction, and reconstruction of Reims Cathedral. The text is in French; it's profusely illustrated with superb photos, drawings, diagrams, and cross-section illustrations of the cathedral. Included in the book is a French-language DVD, making the whole experience an interactive one. This is a great book, and is highly recommended for anyone interested in 12th century French Gothic church architecture, and Reims Cathedral, in particular. Too bad it's only in French, but it's still worth the price for the illustrations, alone.
