Arrivato integro senza nessun difetto !

Increíble libro con excelentes ilustraciones, 100 % recomendado

Los libros de taschen son muy buenos. El envío a casa en poco tiempo me ha venido bien.

I wanted a book which showed photos and diagrams of Aalto's greatest houses and buildings.This book was just what I was looking for. I don't want a book with long dissertations about his life and work. Look elsewhere for that. I like this little book a lot. It's is colorful and inexpensive. I recommend it.

A nice heavy book if not a bit small. Some good color photos and smaller b&w images. I will buy others in this series!
