About
Curious about me, John Hill? My CV is online at LinkedIn; a page on this blog highlights the books and other articles written by me; and I also give architectural walking tours in NYC, with information on those here.
This blog presents reviews of recently published architecture books, typically one a week. How will I know if these are books worth featuring? Like the book reviews I've done for years, the posts will not be blind recommendations; they will be based on firsthand experience with the books, either with print or PDF versions, and will therefore have my commentary. In turn, each post will have a consistent format:
Are you an author or publisher with a book you'd like to see on this blog? Just send me information about your book for consideration — via an email to archidose[at]yahoo[dot]com or by using the contact form at left.
