Yverdon-les-bains, 2004.A brand-new standard-lecture about the developement of the castles in the savoy area (parts of Switzerland, France and Italy), with lots of plans, fotographs and old pictures, analysis of the developement of the towers, donjons, the "carré savoyard" and other features. 2 volumes, they altogether weigh 4,5 kilogramms! Here's a longer description (in french): http://www.24heures.ch/home/journal/loisirs/index.php?Page_ID=6448&art_id=42808&Rubrique=Loisirs I took the chance to buy the work for 150 swiss Francs in subscription. Found no source to buy it online so far.
