Gothic – Art for England – V&A Companion,
This is a truly unique book and an excellent guide to the Gothic exhibition at the Victoria & Albert Museum.
With pictures of all the exhibits, it serves as a superb souvenir of the exhibition and as a reference book giving valuable background to the period.
Whilst expensive it will be a timeless reference book for the art of the Gothic period.

|Sumptuous,
This sumptuously illustrated volume assembles a huge range of medieval art and craft and puts it in context with a series of scholarly but extremely readable and well written essays, plus detailed notes on each item.
Although produced to accompany an exhibition, it ranges well beyond particular exhibits, and includes photographs of major buildings and other artefacts which could not, of course, be carried into a museum.
This is a feast. Sheer pleasure, to be enjoyed over and over again.
