Book Review Churches of Russia: Black and White Rob In Russia Volume 1

Book Review

Churches of Russia: Black and White: Rob in Russia Volume 1, by Robert E. Brown is a 36 page depiction of the beautiful Russian Orthodox Churches and

Cathedrals in Russia.  The description of the book emphasizes the culture, history, and architecture of the Russian Orthodox churches and Cathedrals.  This book contains unique images of many Russian Orthodox churches and Cathedrals.  However, the images do not include the name and/ or location of the church or cathedral and provides no additional information regarding the building.  Readers would appreciate a brief description, or, at the very least, the name of the structure being photographed.  This book is truly a bare bones pictorial sampling of a few Russian Orthodox Churches and Cathedrals.

In summary, if the reader is only interested in artistic pictures of Russian Orthodox churches and Cathedrals, then this book is a quick reference.  It's an easy book to simply flip through and pick up again and again for a quick browse.  If, however, the reader is seeking a brief description of the structure, perhaps a short history, cultural importance statement or a few notes on the architecture alongside the photos, then this book is not the source required.
