  • Bridges
The condition of the book overall was good. I was a little upset about the torn cover and the fading of pages. I had purchased this book as a gift for a friend who loves bridges. He was pleased and happy so nothing else mattered. This book makes a great coffee table book and it has tons of information. I didn't realize every picture was in grey scale, had some color been added I think it would have been much better. ... show more

  • Very good book, not "very good" condition.
Great book. However this copy was not "very good condition" as the binding of the book was loose and so the top cover would slide up and down while the bottom cover remained stationary. This was my second copy of the book, my previous copy was "good" condition, but was actually much nicer than the "very good condition" version. Disappointing, but the work done to create the book is wonderful. ... show more

  • Excellent book on bridges
Covers all the major, famous bridges in wonderful detail. Too bad it appears to be out of print! If you find a reasonably priced copy in good condition it is definitely worth purchasing.
