In this issue, the history of the architectural book review is outlined through 25 critical case studies from the 18th century until today. Geared towards a shifting audience of architects, interested readers, and historians, the genre is more or less universally accessible. The primary aim of this examination is to reveal how the book relates to the architectural practice, and how this relationship has evolved over time. The book review provides an excellent opportunity to learn about architectural production in the distant or recent past as well as speculate about its future. In short, architecture needs books, and vice versa.
