Nepal : A Guide to the Art and Architecture of the Kathmandu Valley

Not an average tourist guidebook with recommendations on where to sleep and eat, but a reference suitable for scholars and travelers alike, who wish to appreciate the cultural splendors of Nepal in their historical and religious context. Includes 263 b&w photos, 11 figures, 22 maps and plans, and 16 color plates, as well as a chronology and a glossary (inexplicably without pronunciation).
