Architect Harry Seidler spent more than 50 years traveling the globe, extensively photographing the peak achievements in architecture from 3000 B.C. to the present day. Thanks to sound advice given to him early on by his photographer brother Marcell ("Only use Leica cameras and Kodachrome film, which is archival"), Seidler's hobby quickly developed into a passion and, finally, an impressive archive of world architecture. Seidler's photographs illustrate the history and style--country by country--of architecture in Europe, the Middle East, Asia, and the Americas. Divided into chapters by country, each with a brief introduction outlining its architectural history, The Grand Tour offers armchair travelers, students, architecture buffs, and historians a unique international tour of buildings ancient, old, modern, and always spectacular.

It has a chapter for most European countries and then chapters for other countries like the U.S.A. and Mexico, however, there does not seem to be a correlation between the order of countries on the list, just the European countries first, the North American, South American and then Asian. I would have expected it too be separated into continents and then alphabetical within. But that is only a minor point.
Each chapter starts with a 2 page introduction with a picture and then other pages with labelled pictures. There are some double-page pictures in each chapter and even some basic plans. Finally, there is a biography at the end of the author. (
