This is one of the best books about Cambridge that i own. It's a hybrid of a picture book, full of dazzling photos of the colleges and surrounding town, and a brief history of each college and the town of Cambridge itself. It isn't as long or as wordy as a full history might have been but take it for what it is.
For those who've been there, it is a trip down memory lane which showcases the most beautiful, the most intriguing, and the most fascinating sights in Cambridge, with a good bit of information about each.
For those who haven't been, or are planning to go, this book acts as a tourguide, complete with map. It points out the very best there is to see and how to get there.
I would (and have) recommend this book for anyone with an interest in Cambridge. It's almost like taking a daytrip there.
