Nice but not fabulous
I expected this to be more of a coffee table book, but it is relatively small (I didn't read the description well enough) and unimpressive. The text is thorough, but it is lacking in photographs.

This review is from: Stockholm: A Cultural History (Cityscapes) (Hardcover)
I expected this to be more of a coffee table book, but it is relatively small (I didn't read the description well enough) and unimpressive. The text is thorough, but it is lacking in photographs.
