This is followed by a guide to the city divided into sections where the buildings are grouped and listed according to their location. The numbered entries start in the Old Town and continue in various directions along the main roads – Pärnu Road, Tartu Road and Narva Road leading up to Merivälja, Kalamaja, Kopli, Kakumäe, Mustamäe and Nõmme.

Gives a brief overview of Tallinn architecture to an incompetent person. Now I can even name some Estonian architects and put the names together with buildings.
The texts in this book really need some basic editing, even a spell checker would do.
