Description:

Where can you see the Empire State Building, the Eiffel Tower, St. Peter's Cathedral, and the Great Pyramids of Giza all in one place? In this delightful book, thanks to authors who happen to be obsessive collectors of miniature replicas of every great piece of architecture in the world. From their vast collection are presented 1,000 tiny stadiums, holy places, bridges, monuments, skyscrapers, and residences. Many are more than just souvenir pieces, serving also as functional objects like pencil sharpeners, thermometers, salt and pepper shakers, and ashtrays. The pleasure of this book derives from its refreshing placement of our most memorable architectural achievements on a small, toylike scale. This appropriately small-scale book makes a perfect gift for anyone passionate about architecture or collecting.
