Digital Copy Not Worth ItBy Daniel PacellaThe problem with the Kindle edition is that many of the drawings are not properly reproduced which defeats the purpose of viewing this book. All drawings are reproduced in standard formatting even though many are meant to be viewed in landscape orientation. Very disappointing!1 of 1 people found the following review helpful. Images are of low qualityBy ArnThe text is repetitive and not so interesting... The images are blurred and of low quality. but I guess thats from the original version. Its sad that no better images are available.But overall the urban / utopian ideas are fascinating and serve as a pint of reference and comparison to some ideas of today.0 of 0 people found the following review helpful. put points off for the poor reproductions in the bookBy indorean influental look into the present and future from a 1929 perspective.put points off for the poor reproductions in the book. there is no blackand no color as per the front cover. and i recently saw an original rendering.
