Dawn said Beautiful!. Architectural porn is the only way to describe this book. It has tons of gorgeous full color photos and I've been enjoying the hell out of it. If you want a more detailed how-to account of how everything is built, this may not suit your purposes. It's much more visual, than instructive, but that's exactly what I wanted.
