"The book features some gleefully nonconformist postmodern architecture from around the globe."-- Design Anthology "Architecture fans are in for a treat."-- Hypebeast, "The book features some gleefully nonconformist postmodern architecture from around the globe."-- Design Anthology "Architecture fans are in for a treat."-- Hypebeast "[The book''s] message of adaptability seems increasingly relevant to our ever-changing world."-- Aesthetica magazine "A celebration... The brasher the better... Postmodernist architecture has always been defined by playfulness... Today''s architects have absorbed many of its lessons."-- The Observer, The New Review "[ Postmodern Architecture: Less is a Bore ] reveals the diversity of postmodern architecture from around the world."-- Dezeen "PoMo was declared flippant and frivolous, it broke all the architectural ''rules'' in its reckless embrace of colour and decoration.

    Great transaction, exactly as described, packed well, and promptly shipped on August 6th. Unfortunately the U.S. Postal Service took 23 calendar days to deliver the book. It was shipped from Pennsylvania, to Atlanta, past Alabama to Texas, enjoyed several days in Texas, then to Minneapolis, Jacksonville, Florida, back to Atlanta, finally to Birmingham, and Huntsville. The seller was very responsive and I decided it was interesting to see if/how the book would arrive. Thanks, Joe

    Excellent purchase. Was able to get all three items from the one seller. Seller was able to bundle all three items together into one package. Items as described and arrived in perfect condition. Good communication around shipping and tracking as items delayed and not able to be delivered by original estimate. Thanks to shipping updates I was able to track the items arriving before the extended delivery time. Thank you for making these items available on EBay.
