I had expected to read much more detailed information on each of these buildings; and also I would have liked more photos from different angles, more details, etc. Some of the commentary is rather sketchy. But then what I mention would have required a much heftier book. Some of the very good contents are, e.g. the time lines with colors indicting length of reigns, eras, etc.
All in all a quite satisfactory book.
