This book is physically flawed, its heavy perfect binding only allows opening it up to less than 90 degrees and the many illustrations that run across the gutter are difficult to view. The paper is easily heavy enough to have been spiral bound, indeed it has about the same weight per page as a larger hardbound art book that I do carry as a reference. In addition 1" of the outer edge is wasted on indexing on part of the pages.
This books is an introduction to architectural drawing and does a reasonable job of it, the section on aerial perspective is unusual and rarely covered. The drawing examples are first rate, spoiled by not being able to view the center parts. And while touted as a field guide, it's not something I would carry as a reference work but would use as a classroom book if it had a reasonable binding.
