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.

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.

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

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.
