I just finished perusing a copy of this book (owned by a friend) and came to a few conclusions. Scarpa is an amazing designer. His works are worthy of study and it would be nice if this book were in print so I could enjoy his work in the comfort of my own home.

What a mind this man had. Carlo scarpa would without doubt be in anyone's top class list (those who know of him anyway) a truely inspiring book, fabuolous designs and the text to-boot. It contains a reasonable overview of the projects contained (some over several pages -which is always nice to see)great photo's, both of the building its interior and details to inspire. Talent oozing out of every design. A Great man and a sad loss.

i have not yet seen a definitive book which really communicates the art of this architects work. this book is a good value but lacks enough detail drawings or plan drawings although is has some. photography is good and again we need more on this architect.
