Thank you for the warnin'.
That's actually the #1 complaint for large-format pressings. They're 8.5" x 11" for a reason (to accommodate large pictures, not extra room for essays and historical analysis). Phaidon/Gestalten/Thames & Hudson, et cetera tend to be more focused on visual candy than academic research. Typical reviews of their interior design & architecture books go something like this---
"There's not enough info about the projects or how to make these." --Umm, yeah it's an architecture photography book. It's not a how-to guide for building your own skyscraper.
