Reviews"Handsomely recorded by the rich, atmospheric photographs of Reuben Cox, set amid lush rhododendron and mountain laurel, these rustic dwellings seem to capture the essence of summertime in the Mountain South."-- Wall Street Journal, "There's something hallucinatory about Webb's mixture of simple form and grandiloquent embellishment: balustrades of thick, twisted twigs minimizing thickets; staircases constructed with random patterns of interlocking mountain laurel or rhododendron branches. A graceful essay by Cox accompanies his images, correctly identifying Webb's work as the confluence of things that don't exist any longer in America: the once endless supply of natural resources and cheap, available land in an unspoiled mountain arcadia with even cheaper labor. . . . In this strangely compelling book, objective truths are felt rather than understood."-- Blueprint, "There's something hallucinatory about Webb's mixture of simple form and grandiloquent embellishment: balustrades of thick, twisted twigs minimizing thickets; staircases constructed with random patterns of interlocking mountain laurel or rhododendron branches.
