This book, while extraordinarily facinating, is really only for those who possess many of Soleri's other books and are already familiar with his unique work. Non-collectors will be unable to make head from tail with this book.

For the collectors and lovers, I do recommend this fantastic glimpse into the concious stream of thought that runs through the inner mind of Soleri. If you spent hours staring in wonderment at the designs in "Arcology: City in the Image of Man" then you will spend twice as long with this book, pouring over the oft times incoherent notes and picking apart the spidery sketches in an attempt to work out just what makes this great man tick. If you stare long enough, and look close enough, you can see the vision as clear as the nose on your face. And it's simply breath-taking.
