Is this book value for money? Guess so if you work on the grounds of Euro/gms but just. A good read? Yes and so is the NY telephone directory. Scholarly work? Well yes if you don't care about cross referencing and inclusion of inconsequential texts. But as a biography of one of England's greatest men it fails totally. Boring, long winded and rambling. Wren and his fellows would have dismissed it has been of little consequence. Its time line/ chronology is totally confusing. The reader has to retrace several pages to regain the plot. What a shame that Wren and a golden age should be documented so!
