Authors: Iain Jackson, Simon Pepper, and Peter Richmond 

Herbert James Rowse (1887–1963) was an extraordinary architect who shaped the city of Liverpool with his array of exquisite buildings, plans, and infrastructure. Practicing in an eclectic manner that was influenced by American Beaux Arts and later using simpler geometries of monumental bare brick, his large body of work reveals a modernity that was concerned with luxurious materials, restrained but contemporary decoration and sculpture, and bold forms often with a sense of theatre and performance. His work has endured passing trends and fashions, retaining a seductive appeal and resonance with visitors and occupants alike, despite its often monumental massing and extraordinary scale.

This book aims to discern not only the architectural merits and advances of his work, but also their wider significance. Through Rowse’s work we gain a glimpse into some of the broader agendas of the time and place, not least through the corporate and banking commissions that accompanied the large docks and shipping firms in Liverpool, where Rowse produced some of his most distinctive work. In addition to these commercial ventures Rowse contributed to the post-war housing debates through his proposals that looked to rows of cottages set around village greens, rather than high-rise living.

Good Wallet, Plenty of Storage Slots
I needed a new wallet to replace my old one that was a tri-fold one that was cloth and it was getting some wear holes in it. I really like this wallet but it has one feature I don't care for. The wallet is good size, has plenty of card holding capacity, RFID blocking, soft leather and it's window is large enough to hold two picture ID's, which I have not to mention the price is pretty good. The only feature I don't care for is the two pocket billfold section. I find it restricts how far it opens up which then makes it hard to see the money you're carrying. I would have been better to not have this so it would open farther and just put two horizontal fabric pockets on the front side of the bill section to hold some business cards.

Best Wallet So Far
It took me years of my wife telling me to get a new wallet (my old one was GREAT but very old, worn and dirty but like an old friend... hard to get ride of). I needed something that would hold A LOT OF CARDS. After much searching on Amazon and reading reviews, I selected this one as I likes the style. Right off the bat I liked it. It held almost all my cards (I discarded 2 or 3 that were old and expired) and am amazed at how thin it is (especially compared to my old wallet) and comfortable in my back pants pocket. I especially like the bi-fold feature that organizes my cards so when I need one, I know exactly where it is. Looks well made and hopefully will last many years.

Great packaging. The wallet is very nice quality, soft feel yet strong. There are adequate inserts and pockets to hold cards, cash and even a picture. Gifting this to my husband for father's day.

Great but too thick for me...
Color: 172-Brown-no zipper
It is my fault for not understanding how thick this wallet is. Great wallet, lots of space and looks great. It is just a bit big for my back pocket in jeans.
