A most useful book is _The North Carolina Guide_, edited by Blackwell P. Robinson, published by the University of North Carolina Press, 1955. Professor Louise Hall, Duke University, wrote the excellent architectural section of this book. Two attractive and important books are illustrated with photographs by a woman master photographer to accompany texts prepared by a man:—_Old Homes and Gardens of North Carolina_, photographs by Bayard Wootten, historical text by Archibald Henderson, published under the auspices of The Garden Club of North Carolina by the University of North Carolina Press, 1939; and _The Early Architecture of North Carolina, a Pictorial Survey_, by Frances Benjamin Johnston, with _An Architectural History_, by Thomas Waterman, University of North Carolina Press, 1941. _The State_ is a magazine published in Raleigh; it has special issues devoted to towns and regions of North Carolina, containing much standard and new information. Three general reference books should be noted: _The Dwellings of Colonial America_, by Thomas Waterman, University of North Carolina Press, 1950. _The Architecture of the Old South_, by Henry Chandlee Forman, Harvard University Press, 1948. _Early American Architecture_, by Hugh Morrison, Oxford University Press, 1952.
