Surprisingly good. Better than a lot of architecture titles I've tried free elsewhere. Shared with my book club.

Description
Thorntow's Mother West Wind 'How' Stories is a masterwork of architectural writing that transcends simple building description to explore the deeper meaning of space and form. Burgess argues that the built environment is a manifestation of human intent and that every structure carries the fingerprints of its creator's philosophy. These essays reveal how architecture communicates values that words often fail to capture.\n\nFor the student of design, the history enthusiast, or anyone interested in the intellectual dimensions of the built environment, this collection is essential. It is not just about buildings; it is about how we inhabit the world and what our structures say about who we are. The EPUB format makes these dense, rewarding essays portable and readable on any device.

Nice addition to my library. EPUB opened fine on Apple Books. Star rating reflects the content, not the store.
Good value. Not mind-blowing, but I'd buy it again. Will check out more titles soon.
