Architectural help
This is not directly related to CA but may be of general interest...
Can anyone recommend a good source for a learning basic architectural styles (eg. Colonial, Traditional, Contemporary) and the features generally associated with the style? Particularly, I would like clear pictures to be able to show clients so they can choose what style they prefer before I start.
Any help appreciated.

I have plenty of "style" books but don't have access to them at this time as I am out of town
try some google searches - many, many sites out there
