Editorial Reviews: London's churches are skillfully illuminated in this compact, handsomely illustrated guide. Two questions confronted the author when he began this book: ``Which parts of London?'' and ``Which churches?'' To have included every area and every church would have meant a weighty and unmanageable tome, thus this richly informative guide focuses principally on the pre-19th-century churches of what roughly can be termed Inner London. The brief yet stimulating entries feature details on each church's dedication, history, exterior, interior, furnishings, monuments, artwork, stained glass, and more; there is also an abundance of excellent photographs. The author encourages the church lover to wander off the beaten track to enjoy the little-known and unusual as well as the more familiar glories of Wren and Westminster. Mervyn Blatch is the author of Parish Churches of England in Colour and Cathedrals. 450 pp 4 1/2 x 7 120 b/w photos
