Stained Glass before 1700 in the Collections of the Los Angeles County Museum of Art and the J. Paul Getty Museum
By Virginia C. Raguin
ISBN 978-1-912554-71-3 - Series: Harvey Miller-Corpus Vitrearum USA, vol. 10
Review:
"CV volumes are invariably long in the making – some are the work of a lifetime – and publication of any one is an occasion for celebration. Raguin’s lavishly illustrated work is no exception. It is especially welcome as none of the stained glass in the Los Angeles County Museum of Art (LACMA) is currently on display, and less than half of the glass holdings of the J. Paul Getty Museum, Los Angeles (JPGM), are viewable by the public. The book consists of two volumes. The layout is clear and the production values meet the high standards familiar from Harvey Miller publishers."

The Ponte Vecchio: Architecture, Politics, and Civic Identity in Late Medieval Florence
By Theresa Flanigan
ISBN 978-1-912554-68-3, Series: Architecture and the Arts in Early Modern Italy, vol. 5
Review:
"Flanigan’s work distinguishes itself by the integration of visual, documentary and physical evidence and highlights the potential for more extensive research into government-sponsored and corporate models of civic architecture and patronage. As the author observes, this area has traditionally ‘received far less attention than artistic patronage by private individuals and families’ (p.39). She successfully demonstrates the ongoing relevance of monographic studies that bridge art history, architectural history and urban design, offering a useful framework for future research."
