Seldom has there been a more sensitive marriage of words and images. <br>-- The New York Sun <br> With originality, verve, and wit, de Botton explains how we find reflections of our own values in the edifices we make. . . . Altogether satisfying. <br>-- San Francisco Chronicle <br> De Botton is high falutin' but user friendly. . . . He keeps architecture on a human level. <br>-- Los Angeles Times
