I like this book because it has many colorful half- and full-page pictures of Palladio's buildings. It shows little architectual details and also far away portraits of the building as a whole. If you want to learn more about Palladio, I would reccomend this book. It includes extended descriptions of each work, but if you're like me, simply looking through the awesome photographs will be enough to satisfy.
