Summary: "95% Perfect: The Older Residences at Nantucket" by Everett Uberto Crosby is a detailed analysis and examination of the architectural heritage of Nantucket, written in the late 1930s. This non-fiction publication focuses on the unique style of older houses on the island, emphasizing their historical significance and the effort needed to preserve their integrity. The book serves as both a tribute to Nantucket's architectural legacy and a guide for preserving its historical residences.
