2.0 out of 5 stars
Exaggerated title,
By Selcuk Sayan (Antalya, - Turkey) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Resort Design: Planning, Architecture and Interiors (Hardcover)
The book analyses the subjects at an amateur level and it is lacking in content. As a necessity of my doctoral dissertation I bought it and regret.The letter fonts are unnecessarily too big; according to me the real volume should be about 175 pages.Photographs and drawings(plan, etc.)are inadequate and print quality is not good.I was expecting a satisfying book.
