This
Note is for the man with a measuring tape who wants to record an
ancient building but wonders what to do next. We suggest that he
(or she) should next read through the twenty two paragraphs in
the first part of this Note. He will then be in a position to
take some decisions about the building. If he finds his
knowledge insufficient, he should be able to find a helpful
book, or several, from the second part of this Note to take him
(or her) further.
One book is
good. Two are better. Twenty eight are perhaps an excess, but
new titles keep appearing. Thus while the books listed here are
all recommended, some books not on the list may be as good or
better.
My thanks go to the
members of the K.A.S. Historic Buildings Committee and to many
others, who have offered comments for this Note.
