wow that book looks sweet! i bet it's like $200 cnd

actually it is cheaper then i expected for such an enormous thing.. it's also delivered in a nice transparent 'suitcase' with a little guide (or something) to the book as an extra in it.

great book, I want it... and the price is dropping(on amazon)

i want that.

It's a great book. Great presentation and content.
Surprisingly it showcases work of the newest 'players' around, NL architects from Netherlands, Actar from Spain, ...
I wanted more examples regarding the new stuff in spanish architecture, but that would be asking to much for somwething that tries to cover comtemporary architecture globally...
There's always 'El croquis ' for that.

hmm $180 with the special deal...

yeah we have about 4 of them in the better bookstore here and one has this special stand/table for it even, i'd like to have that with it. it's not really a book to hold in your hands for long...

glass topped coffee tables need not apply

definitely not toilet-oriented.
- Mimio0
Good idea. You would need a table for that, otherwise the binding would roll so much it might wear the book out prematurely if you held it in your lap.

do you think I could read it in the tub?
- vburo0
i just bought it.
i think i will need to make myself a new shelf. it won't fit in any of the others.

Make sure your new shelf has a load of support, it's monster!

Looks like a great book, was flipping through it in the store the other day.
I hope the binding on that book is good, ive already seen one detaching from the hard cover at the spine and have seen this happen to several other books from them.

i wonder if you can bind such a monster so strong anyhow..
this thing is soooo heavy.
damn.
(but well worth the money!!)
:D
