About This Item
University of Chicago Press, 2013 4to (31.5 cm), 328 pp. Publisher's boards and dust jacket (collector's blind stamp on half-title). "A library is not just a collection of books, but also the buildings that house them. From the great dome of the Library of Congress, to the white façade of the Seinäjoki Library in Finland, to the ancient ruins of the library of Pergamum in modern Turkey, the architecture of a library is a symbol of its time as well as of its builders' wealth, culture, and learning. Architectural historian James Campbell and photographer Will Pryce traveled the globe together, visiting and documenting over eighty libraries that exemplify the many different approaches to thinking about and designing libraries." (from the publisher's synopsis)
