Easy Reading
I am an Architecture student and used this book as a guide for tips & tricks of model making. It's a great tool, easy reading, straight forward. Highly recommended if you are a beginning model maker.

Inspirational More Than How To
This is an elegant little book of line illustrations dealing with the art of architectural model building. It is not really a "how to" book. This book is ideal for people who already posses plenty of artistic talent. They will see basic concepts and be able to go from there.

If like me, you want to make models to help out with your kid's school projects, this book is not for you. For anybody looking for a step by step guide to making models, I would recommend a book by Games Workshop called, "How to Make Wargames Terrain", a beautifully illustrated guide book aimed towards teenagers
