Animals in Stone Reviews

Implicitly, King makes a case against the rigid application of modernist dogma to architecture. That the carvings he photographed added depth, visual interest and beauty to their structures was sufficient justification for their existence. Form doesn't necessarily have to follow function. -- Milwaukee Express
[E]xcellent books, giving you another way to enjoy the sights, and great presents for architectural students or lovers of New York City. -- Examiner.com
