Such a sweet little book. I highly recommend it to anyone interested in architecture or travel and who doesn't have the 150, the table space or the carrying capability to get the big 17lbs big version.
Organised by territory and categorised by usage, this book collects the great contemporary architectural works into a tasty little package that can fit in your school bag if you are a student or sit on your coffee table if you are a posuer. ;) Its really well worth the money!
