Grover,
This looks like wonderfully appropriate reading material for dull men:
“All Fall Down: Christchurch’s Lost Chimneys,” by Geoff Rice
http://www.cup.canterbury.ac.nz/releases/2011/111114a.shtml.
It documents the different types of chimneys and chimney pots found in my home city.
Regrettably there are many fewer chimneys around now, following the recent earthquakes (which I can assure you were not at all dull).
I’ve just ordered a copy through my local library, a pleasantly dull place.
Yours most sincerely,
Roy Britten
Christ Church

Roy,
Great. I agree. Wonderfully approptirea reading material for dull men.
This reminds me of a book we came across a while back: “A Lust for Window Sills,” by Harry Mount.
