Ok book. It was set up as a survey of buildings by city vs by chronology. (Literally, organized by building type and put in the book in the order they saw them). It would have been helpful to at least go by oldest to newest in each city. I wish they had had a more detailed description of Art Deco and the styles/eras. I still don't know what Art Deco is.
This book is more for someone who already knows a lot and wants to see what is in what city, not for someone new who just wants to learn about Art Deco.
