Or, if not iconostases, specifically, at least something featuring different Byzantine or Orthodox church interiors. My preference would be for a book showing North American iconostases or church interiors. Any suggestions. The only thing I can seem to find is a book about churches in the Chicago area...which is great...but does anyone know of anything else?

Evidently by "Chicago metropolis" is meant all of Illinois and churches in other midwestern states as well, such as Indiana, Iowa, and Minnesota. It also explains the liturgy and the art, architecture, and layout of the typical Orthodox church. I'm so looking forward to paging through it when I get home from the office this evening. If anyone is aware of anything similar currently in print, let me know.
