1 comments about Ancient L.A..
- This book was a gift from a friend who knows I enjoy studying the history of Los Angeles and I collect vintage photos. This book was a major disappointment. The photo quality is only poor to fair, the facts are scanty at best. The prose can be mildly entertaining, but quickly tiresome. The best thing I can say is that it was printed on recycled paper of low quaility. I plan to recycle it.

1 comments about Architecture, Mysticism And Myth.
- Wonderfully informative, engrossing, overall a worthwhile read. There's a reason all other books on the subject trace back to it.

- Dieses Buch ist eine ausgezeichnete Erforschung der deutschen Architekten. Es erforscht völlig das junge Erzeugung, das jetzt die alte Welt verläßt, um in einer neuen Richtung anzufangen. Der Fall der Wand hat einen wundervollen neuen Tag für Deutschland erschlossen und die Architekten, die helfen, das neue Deutschland aufzubauen, werden gut hier dargestellt.

1 comments about New York.
- This is such a lovely little hardcover book on the architecture of New York City. With a 13 page write up touching on topics from the tallest structures in NY (initially the Brooklyn Bridge), the introduction of steel as a structural material which enabled the construction of skyscrapers, to the various styles; neo-classical, art deco, through modern.
Some interesting quotes are also included; "Wait till you see the blueprints for the Guggenheim. It's going to make the Metropolitan look like a protestant barn" Frank Lloyd Wright reportedly said of his brilliant Guggenheim Museum.
Then there is the photography; a beautiful aerial view of Central Park, The World Trade Center, Times Square, The Empire State building, the stunning TWA Flight Center (which even as a kid had me in awe when I passed through), the afore mentioned Guggenheim Museum, Grand Central Station, and The UN Headquarters, to mention a few.
A lovely book which much like Frank Sinatra's song, manages to give a tasty bite of the big apple.
