I forgot design ≠ graphic design and so was a bit disappointed this book is mostly about buildings and things. As such it was kind of diverting, though without illustrations or knowing what travertine is I'm not entirely confident I was imagining the buildings and things properly.

Frustratingly for a book where someone has gone to the trouble to make 30+ quite neat different section header pages and page furniture styles, it's appallingly proof-read – a few times, they clearly just missed out a bunch of words, and one paragraph ends on a comma. AND I BOTHERED TO FIND THE EN-DASH FOR THIS REVIEW.
