Duke Chapel Illuminated, Minnie Glymph, Beautiful Coffee Table Book, VG++

Near Fine/Very Good+ copy. Mint condition except for 2 minor flaws: gift inscription on endpaper and two corners are bumped. The interior is pristine and the sewn binding is tight. Includes a "Sounds of Duke Chapel" CD. The architectural style of the chapel is inspired by English Gothic and represents one of the last great collegiate Gothic projects in this country. The chapel’s iconic design was the work of Julian Abele, a prominent African American architect from Philadelphia who designed much of Duke’s West Campus, and since Duke University is rooted in the Methodist tradition, Abele planned the chapel for the campus’s center. Today, Duke Chapel stands at a majestic 210 feet at the center of Duke’s west campus. A 5,200-pipe Flentrop organ and 50-bell carillon, both added since the first round of construction was completed, are two of the building’s most distinctive features.
