Andy Foster is an independent architectural historian based in Birmingham.
“Each revision of the Pevsner architectural guides — with their
copious additional details and superb colour photography — opens
readers' eyes to what should have been obvious...Seldom has this
been more evident than with the latest volume, Birmingham and the
Black Country.”—Simon Heffer, The Daily Telegraph
“A tirelessly comprehensive book…[This is] a city of rich oddities
and pleasingly bewildering contrasts.”—Jonathan Meades, The
Oldie
"The updated Buildings of England series get better and better, but
Andy Foster's Birmingham and the Black Country is especially worthy
of celebration...It is fair to say that it is a region that has
rarely been the focus of sustained admiration, so much of the
contents are revelatory...The book is a triumph."—Otto Saumarez
Smith, Friends of Friendless Churches
