The paperback is better quality and the pages look like they have been photocopied and badly at that

by Robert howard
I had being introduced to this source book before. It is pretty extensive and although the illustrations can be a little on the small side it is still extremely useful in both identifying and interpreting certain architectural ornament and embellishment.

If you do work with Artwork it’s very likely no matter who you are that this book contains more graphics than you ever created in the past. Always going to have it . Roughly measured by ruler 5 inches wide(12.5cm) x 8 inches tall(20cm) x 2.3inch thick (4cm) roughly. Resonably small to have in hand, lite not heavy . Lots of design and lots of explanatory text aswell . 550 pages , about half of A4 page size.
