A nice enough book without being anything too exciting. It is essentially telling the story of London through photos, and so is a bit of a mixed bag. Some photos are good, some a little amateurish. I liked the colour/ mood theming of sections, that worked well, but the little snippets of text were very minimal and so the book is little more than a curiosity.
Pleasant enough, but not essential reading.

Great pictures of London set in color order (red phone booths, gold buildings, silver buildings, etc).
Almost scrapbook style, it gives you enough great pictures to remember why you love London. No pictures of dreary winter days here!
Good price at B&N!
