As an architecture student, I usually have high expectations for any "architectural coffee table book" by James Grayson Truelove. But this book had some disappointing quirks. By far the most glaring quirk: The floor plan of the Methow Cabin (page 160) was ALSO printed on page 102 as though it belonged to the Cavehill Residence! Dont they have layout editors to catch such mistakes? Hey guys, theres only 25 houses in this book. Youd think they could match the right plan to the appropriate house. Twenty-one of the 25 homes had accompanying floor plans. (I didnt count the plan that appeared twice). Call me picky, but why leave out four plans when you included the other 21? For consistencys sake--at least. A few blurry photos remind me that a 3 megapixel digital photo loses clarity when enlarged to more than a 5X7 print. Nonetheless, I did not send the quirky book back. My complaint in a nutshell: Truloves publisher could spend more time up front getting the layout right before rushing to print! The mistakes are embarrassing and unprofessional.
