Antoni Gaudi, 1852-1926: From Nature to Architecture (Taschen Basic Architecture)

Maria Antonietta Crippa

Taschen, 2003

Basic but quality overview book
A good starter book to introduce someone to Gaudi's work... not a great book and not in-depth. If you're looking for substance, look elsewhere. If you want a basic overview of Gaudi & his work, this is a good little overview book.
