Customer Reviews
A book I have wanted for quite a while
Such a sweet little book. I highly recommend it to anyone interested in architecture or travel and who doesn't have the 150, the table space or the carrying capability to get the big 17lbs big version.
Organised by territory and categorised by usage, this book collects the great contemporary architectural works into a tasty little package that can fit in your school bag if you are a student or sit on your coffee table if you are a posuer. ;) Its really well worth the money!
So many buildings, so little time
Superb little book. The only problem is how to see all the buildings in it before you die.
A world in a travel Edition 
It's absolutely very great book in terms of information and the ability to feed you with the leatest in a travel edition .Which I found very helpful for me as a student ........
