The Origins of the Greek Architectural Orders
This is a Sunset book, so there are a lot of nice pictures. Printed in 1971, so it's outdated.
I've seen about half of the Missions. Some are very inspiring. I wish I could live there. You can get the feeling of the place as it was years ago -- awesome and a little eerie. I attended Mission San Fernando church for years, sometimes the rest of the buildings were open, sometimes not. There are two fountains, one inside the church grounds, the other across the street, that used to be inside the grounds.
It is the same with the other Missions, which none of the books mention. Nearly all were by rivers and had fountains. Now, some are RIGHT on the street, with nary a place to park. Others are more rural, and by poking around you get a real feel for the place. The bells -- importantly -- have nearly all been found (some restored), and if you ask nicely . . .
I've read nearly all of the books on the Missions. Why the "Indians" didn't continue to care for them -- didn't the Padres teach them supervisional skills? Why was there secularization in the middle of such successful businesses? Even business that was shorthanded because of diseases should have been viable.
