It was on sale and I picked it up for the diagrams and pictures, but there isn't enough information to string it all together. Need to find a more comprehensive biography of LDV. It's like the Bible. . . don't really get a sense of who he (Jesus, LDV) really was, but wow, look at all the stuff they left behind. I thought Carlo Pedretti was mentioned as a foremost LDV expert, so was hoping there would be some real insights. Seems more like a coffee table book. Looks like one.
