Average Rating:
 Rating: - 5 Stars for the Excellent PhotographyThe purpose of this book is to show the work of the architects that have designed some of the most modern stadiums in the world. There is a very short introductory text printed in 5 languages. The rest of the book is full of colour photographs with many being double spread. 31 stadiums are covered which are presented in alphabetical order of the architects that designed the stadiums. 11 of the 12 German World Cup stadiums are featured. Kaiserslautern is omitted, probably because the stadium's renovation work was not completed before the book went to publication. There are 8 stadiums from World Cup 2002 (Japan & South Korea), 4 Portuguese stadiums from Euro 2004, both the 2004 Olympic Stadium and Olympic Velodrome in Athens, 3 American stadiums, 2 small football stadiums and the Berlin Olympic Velodrome. Both the exterior and interior of the stadiums are photographed. The German stadiums also include internal parts of the ground, such as VIP lounges and bars. The photographs are excellent quality and I would recommend this book to anybody that enjoys photographs of modern sports stadiums. One small criticism is that there is no text to accompany any of the photos. To conclude this book does not contain any informative text or statistical data but that is not the purpose of this book. What it does contain are some excellent photographs and it shows just how impressive the German venues were for this year's World Cup. I bought this book from Amazon.co.uk and the description stated "Paperback". The book that was sent, however, was hardback. Overall excellent value for money.
