5.0 out of 5 stars Golden Gateway, January 6, 2003

This review is from: Superspan (Paperback)

If you think a book about a bridge could just possibly be a little tedius, think again!

Superspan is a riveting (no pun intended) read from start to finish. I love the Golden Gate Bridge and this is a fascinating read detailing the Golden Gates conception, the delays before the go ahead was given and the actual construction of the bridge. For years they said it would be impossible to build a bridge at the Golden Gate, but it was done. I was reading the book on the bus home and missed my stop!

A good read, brilliant photos.

It is easy to take for granted the grandeur of the Golden Gate Bridge. This book does an excellent job of detailing out the "end to end" process involved in creating this marvel as well as illustrating the glamour of it.
