So glad you like the book. I bought a book E. Kahn wrote for children called A Building Goes Up. I scored lots of books at two library sales in CT. and I'm having a field day looking at the design books This is a day to stay in air conditioning and read. Stay cool. Andrea

Nice architecture collection. I noticed our common books on Ely Kahn and Joseph Urban. You probably know about the Columbia University archive on Urban. The web site shows zillions of his stage models(www.columbia.edu/cu/web/eresource... It's fantastic. I'd be interested in knowing how you stumbled on the Kahn book. Andrea
