The two previous reviews are just in certain ways: The quality of the photographs is often not high, and all the photographs are black-and-white. (Unlike what one reviewer said, however, there are often more than two photographs per chair; furthermore, in all cases there are drawings--sometimes several--highlighting the chair's structure.) The quality of the paper is not top-notch. The choice of chairs included--and excluded--is sometimes rather idiosyncratic.
On the other hand, the author was himself a sculptor and furniture designer and the text provides interesting insight into the aesthetic, structural, and problem-solving features of the chairs. True, the descriptions are often brief, but they give a furniture designer's views of these chairs, and I felt I gained insights into these classics that I'd not gotten elsewhere.
