I don't read a lot of non-fiction books and I only bought this because I had to use up some vouchers I was given at the RIBA bookshop but I was pleased to find that I had discovered a little gem. It is hard to believe that some of the text were written over a century ago because their impact is so relevant to today's design and appreciation of fashion. Loved it! I'm now going to go research more of Adolf Loos buildings and see if I appreciate them as much as his writing.
