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.

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

i just bought it.
i think i will need to make myself a new shelf. it won't fit in any of the others.
- johannes0
do you think I could read it in the tub?
- 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.

definitely not toilet-oriented.

glass topped coffee tables need not apply

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...

hmm $180 with the special deal...

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.
