It contains addresses and map references and has many search categories. The second element, the Backpack, contains notes on 4,000-odd buildings, ith mini-essays on their architecture and historical significance. Many are photographed, and there are entries covering prominent architects, and a detailed glossary - an expert companion on an endless journey.
