From Library Journal:

National Trust publications are generally sturdy information sources, and Arnold's compilation is no exception. It satisfies both reference book and armchair reading requirements. While not a comprehensive survey of art available to the public--some private institutions declined coverage for security reasons, and places of worship with artworks were not included--this book offers geographically organized coverage that is extensive and pertinent. The three principal "national" museum collections are treated together before the book is divided into regional sections. Entries on individual museums, galleries, and houses contain historical summaries and concise descriptions of holdings. Major works are usually reproduced as illustrations. One truly sumptuous feature of this work is that all reproductions are in good quality color. An excellent purchase for public libraries and most academic collections.
