Review
"Goran Schildt, a Finnish art critic ... has skillfully collected the architect's sketches and writings to compose a book of enduring authenticity and inimitable charm in which we hear Aalto's unmistakable voice.... Once again, his deeply humanistic view of people and their architecture is revealed.... a masterly selection."- Frederick Gutheim, "AIA Journal"
