30 HERITAGE BUILDINGS OF YANGON: INSIDE THE CITY THAT CAPTURED TIME

Published by Association Of Myanmar Architects. 2013

Slightly better than very good condition. This book focuses on a selection of 30 key buildings and examines their past, present, and future. Piecing together the often forgotten social history of each building has involved delving into out-of-print books, company records, old city directories, newspaper archives, and people's memories. Pictorial cardwraps. Colour & b/w photos. 166 pages including index.

Reprint. A very nice copy.
