Skyscrapers: A History of the World's Most Extraordinary Buildings - Revised and Updated Hardcover – Illustrated, 1 Nov. 2013

Bought as a gift for a friend who loves skyscrapers. It was the perfect book, full of great detail, pictures.

Bought for my nephew who is skyscraper mad. The photographs are amazing & so full of information 👍

This is the perfect book to give as a gift for anyone who has a passion for skyscrapers. Was bought as a Christmas present and recipient loved it.

Being an Engineer I found the book an excellent treatise on tall buildings . It is well illustrated and the text is concise and lucid .The large format throws a different bent on book presentation , but it is pleasing . I enjoyed reading it and recommend it to anyone interested in tall buildings and their construction , whether one is a professional , or somebody interested in what goes on around them .Very good and upto date .

Some great photography and some insight in to the history and construction of skyscrapers. My only moan (and it's a little one) is that the book is cumbersome to handle when trying to read it. I would recommend it to anyone interesrted in skyscraper architecture.

A tall story.

Take a look at the dimensions before buying. This is not a coffee table book, it's more of a book that could be a coffee table. We don't even know where to put it now.

This book is simply stunning. 174 pages of the worlds tallest buildings through the years from skyscrapers in New York of the 1930's to the tallest building in the world today. Every page has a different building and the page opposite has details of the construction and the architects involved. The photographs are excellent and the book is very interesting. The book is quite tall and bulky but the shape suits the subject matter perfectly. I bought it as a present for someone who loved it. A good coffee table book.
