"""Aalto in Detail acts a bit like a guidebook, and while I didn't expect there to be maps or other information akin to architectural guides (there aren't any), I was pleased to find an index of the nearly fifty buildings, organized by location and project. So people visiting Kauttua, for example, can see a list of the three buildings located there (Lohiluoma Residential Building, Sauna and Laundry, Terrace Housing) and the pages on which their components are presented. This index takes up just two pages, but it reminds me that far too many other books I've encountered have opted, for one reason or another, to not include similarly helpful indices, making their books less user-friendly.""
