I've spent the better part of my evening trying to find a book with good

and burgher houses rather than churches and castles (i think ive seen enough
of those!).  If anyone knows of anything off hand, that would be a great help.

I'm going to use them to get some more realistic ideas for new MOCs.
Especially in figuring out how to use all my blue and yellow bricks.  I keep
feeling like all medieval villages are either black, brown, or grey.. with
the occasional white and even less occasional other color.

thanks for the help!

Lenny, you might want to give David Macualay's (sp?) _Castle_ a try.  It
focuses primarily on the construction of a castle, from meager beginnings to
the glorious final result, through sketches.  VERY awesome book.  It has a
lot of villiage information in it.  Also, Eyewitness Books (the series) have
a lot of great medieval information.

HTH,
