Customer Reviews

'Neutelings Riedjik'
As an architecture student and avid collector of books concerning architecture i was about to order this book from Amazon. But browsing through the selection of images i was very much put off by the big caption 'Neutelings Riedjik' which is supposed to be Neutelings Riedijk.

It comes across very amateurish and it makes me wonder if the writer of this book has an idea of the content he is writing about and isn't just collection nice photographs of famous dutch offices.

Nice book
I bought this book for someone interested in Real Estate, and I didnt know what kind of souvenier to bring them from my trip to the Netherlands. It has plenty of beautiful photos of some great buildings, inside and out. It has descriptions too.
