I purchased the 'new' (1996) printing from Birkhauser. This seems to be the cheapest edition to be found, and the quality of the paper, images, and text support this. Birkhauser tends to make excellent books (check out the complete works series of Aalto, Herzog & DeMeuron, and Botta for proof), but I'm left a little confused by the modern feel to the paper, which the rustic quality of the image/print. I guess there is something to be said for a mid 1970's slightly yellowing gently read copy. That is if you can find one for less than a $1200.
Nevertheless, I highly recommend spending the $400 on this fantastic body of knowledge. You won't regret it for a second.
On a side note, Birkhauser's packaging is fantastic: even UPS and my not-so-gentle delivery man weren't able to damage the contents.

1. The first two volumes are NOT multi-lingual. The majority of the text in these 2 volumes is in French. All notations/labels for the images and photos are in French. Only the more extensive texts/essays are in German and English.
2. These appear to be straight reproductions of the original books, no reformatting has occurred. This may be a reason for the lower quality of the images/photos.
3. Great opportunity to see models/drawings of major unbuilt works - Governor's Palace in Chandigargh, Strasburg, Algiers, Venice, Geneva, etc. As well as paintings, le Modulor and other non-building works.
The packaging was incredible, and worth saving in my opinion.
I would recommend this for this price, and is much more convenience than hunting on eBay for the early editions of the individual volumes.

Amazon es el sitio donde más barato lo encontré y además me lo traen a casa. No tienes que cargar con ello, y aviso que pesan casi 10 kilos, por lo que es el sitio ideal para comprarlos, no me veía viniendo de la librería con ellos a cuestas.
Puedes ver una amplia descripción de sus obras con planos, croquis y fotografías, que te permiten descubrir y analizar toda su trayectoria. Un producto más que recomendable para todo arquitecto y toda persona que quiera aprender de este genio.
