I ordered the book on the 10th, and got an email on the 17th that the order had been processed. Two weeks later I received an email stating that the book had been damaged during shipping and was returned was it improperly packaged? I don't know if it was actually shipped- Did it go to the post office at all? Did the seller fail to stock as advertised, then covered his tracks the book looked like a fantastic presentation of many of her interests. Instead, I had untimely and insufficient excuses... My mother told me not to bother getting a gift at all, it's too much trouble. I've had very little communication from Amazon or the seller. I am not at all satisfied with my experience. I suspect that the $1 voucher will be wasted- because I have no desire to repeat this sort of disappointing experience.

This book has been extremely helpful for my thesis which is about food and architecture. I highly recommend it to anyone who has an interest in either topic. The relations between the two are endless.
