breadth but not depth

the book was a good broad overview of what to consider when creating a portfolio, however, it did not delve deeply into details, instead it provides other sources one should view for more info. still a helpful book.
Not a step-by-step guide

If you want to be inspired and gain a new prespective on how to design an architectural portfolio, this is an excellent book. Not the step-by-step guide, or a list of creative ideas, it allows for creativity along with both basic and detailed pointers on layout, overall design, content and award-recipent portfolio examples. Direct references to certain colleges in both Europe and the USA. Something not in the description that was a very pleasent surprise: The authors compare UK schools and USA schools, their application process and how the portfolios differ. A very useful thing for a student, such as myself, planning on applying to both European and USA architecture grad. schools.
