The Statue of Liberty, the Parthenon, and the Tower of London are just a few of the hundreds of remarkable souvenir buildings in this book. No type of building, from any place or time, has escaped the collection of Ace Architects, which is regarded as having the best single collection of its kind. The heyday of souvenir buildings was the early decades of the twentieth century, and the range of buildings included here is nothing short of encyclopedic: there are replicas of holy places and football stadiums; dams and bridges; castles and forts; tepees and skyscrapers; ancient monuments and commemorative sites. With this book in the palm of your hand, you never have to leave home again to experience the architectural wonders of the world.

Where can you see the Empire State Building, the Eiffel Tower, St. Peter's Cathedral, and the Great Pyramids of Giza all in one place? In this delightful book, thanks to authors who happen to be obsessive collectors of miniature replicas of every great piece of architecture in the world. From their vast collection are presented 1,000 tiny stadiums, holy places, bridges, monuments, skyscrapers, and residences. Many are more than just souvenir pieces, serving also as functional objects like pencil sharpeners, thermometers, salt and pepper shakers, and ashtrays. The pleasure of this book derives from its refreshing placement of our most memorable architectural achievements on a small, toylike scale. This appropriately small-scale book makes a perfect gift for anyone passionate about architecture or collecting.
