1001 Buildings You Must See Before You Die Paperback – 3 Oct. 2019

Brilliant as a guide to the world’s greatest architecture. You wouldn’t read it through in one sitting, but it’s wonderful to dip into! Very good pictures for the most part and text informative. Fantastic value at the price.

If only I wasn't so scared of flying I would love to travel and see so many of these buildings. Not all of them, but no-one can like everything. It is a wonderful book to browse, perfect for a lazy Sunday morning with a lovely big cup of coffee to hand. There were times when I wanted more information, or more images than the book provided, but even then it made a great stepping stone to provoke me into doing further research on my own. It is a book which celebrates the imagination and ability to create beauty of generations of mankind, and overall I would recommend this book without any hesitation.

I like this book because it shows you some amazing buildings and gives you lots of information about them.it does cover 1000 buildings, some known better than others, but another volume needs to come out of thenext thousand buildings you should see.It gives you some insight into how our world has been used and sometimes improved with the beauty of buildings.

Great gift for anyone who is interested in architecture.

a great book for dipping into, covers the whole world , with some surprising entries...

What a book - 'tome' is the only fitting word for this marvellous compendium of architectural masterpeices from factories,skyscrapers, ancient temples to modern houses and even the Shard. You need strong arms to hold it up, and don't even thinK of posting it to anyone - it will cost a fortune! The only snag - not every of the 1001 buildings is illustrated, but the comments are always well informed and interesting. It has been much admired and envied by everyone who has seen and dipped into it - a great acquisition.

This is a brilliant Present for anyone who has a remote interest in buildings and architecture! My partner has not put it down since Christmas day! I would recommend it to anyone!

It's a matter of taste, I could think of buildings that should have have been included and there were some in there that should nver have made the cut. On the other hand there were several I'd never heard of [especially a church near Edinburgh] which were a real suprise.FWIIW my copy arrived most inadequately packed

Useful book to check before going on vacation, so you won't miss those nice buildings if you're around. Also, good for planning an architecture-themed vacation! Well organised, easy to find what you're looking for.Very thick and heavy, so it's not convenient for carrying it while travelling.

Glad to see that Frank Lloyd Wright was well mentioned. He is very renowned... but is not given as much credit as he should be to shaping modern architecture as we know it.
