Synopsis
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.

Synopsis
The Empire State Building, the Eiffel Tower and the Tower of London are just a few of a vast range of miniature monuments and souvenir buildings in the collection of over 2400 objects owned by the authors of this book. They even have 100 Statues of Liberty, and no two are alike. For the book, they have selected nearly 1000 buildings, which have been specially photographed in settings which aim to be witty and amusing. Fashioned in pot metal, lead, iron, bronze, brass or copper, the miniatures frequently double as pencil sharpeners, coin holders, clocks, thermometers, ink-wells, book-ends, and even music boxes. They are all 20th-century miniatures, but the originals on which they are based reach back to the Colossus of Rhodes, the Great Pyramids of Giza, and the Christopher Columbus monument in Madrid. There are replicas of holy places and football stadiums, dams and bridges, castles and forts, tepees and skyscrapers, ancient monuments and commemorative sites.
