A fun little book! I don't think the narrative portions added much, and sometimes it sacrifices historical detail in an attempt to be funny.

“The Secret Life of Hidden Places,” by Stefan Bachmann and April Genevieve Tucholke
Eighteen architectural mysteries and the minds that created them.
This book was super interesting. It’s full of short stories and the histories of unique places in our current world. It’s poetic, fun, and strange, this book has it all. I had no idea that there was so many cool lore around architecture the world we live in has. It was a super fun read. 4 out of 5 stars.
Thank you for the ARC, Netgalley.

This was such a fun book to read (Explore?) I always wonder what is hidden behind what we see. Is there a secret room behind the bookshelves? Or tunnels? I wasn’t expecting an underground Manor!
The book has a few pages and images. It’s great to pick up and read about a place and then be able to put it down and read about another one. A perfect gift or coffee table book would start some great conversations.
Thank you, NetGalley and Workman Publishing, for the ARC.
