[Scott Fuchs · Rating 2 out of 5]

Considering the fact that there are next to no books [?none?] on this terrific subject, this book is a major disappointment. Dry sluggish text, bad color separation, pix with poor pov and an overall messy job of production.
As for the translation or an attempt at writing in English, it is rife with error and a number of malapropisms.
However, if you want to see some interiors and a very concise description and history of the subject this again, is seemingly the only fully illustrated book that there is.
