Amazon sorta randomly suggested a book to me:

Lair: Radical Homes and Hideouts of Movie Villains

I’m not generally an architecture aficionado, but somehow this does seem to kinda appeal to me. I suspect it’s the black and white diagrams, the sort of thing that has *always* appealed to me:

It sure looks interesting and well produced. but then you read the customer reviews and, man, some of them are brutal. It seems that for a lot of people the choice of silver ink on a black background was disastrous. Something that looks great in the photos apparently comes off as difficult to see in real life. This would not be the first time that a neato book project was damaged by a Cool Idea that turned out to not work as well as hoped.

Still… kinda interested.
