Let me state off the bat; I love Art Deco architecture. The artistry and the masonry that went into these buildings is a feast for the eyes. This book is very thorough and the vintage black and white pictures ooze sepia, some these buildings I had never seen photographed. The text is informative without being too scholarly or too grossly indepth. This is one of the better books on Art Deco, but still the book on American Art Deco is the best, it has recent color images and is just a much prettier book, but for what this is, it succeeds very well.

I agree that this is not the best buy on Art Deco but it is maybe the best value for money you can find.
There are good pictures and the text is also great. We would like to have some more colour pictures or more recent photos, with better quality but ...
I highly recommend the book.

Ottimo perchè ricco di fotografie. Fotografie anche di dettagli di elementi dell'architettura del periodo Art Deco.
E' un bel libro d'arte!
