... a precise, penetrating and revealing analysis of the history, basic principles and application of land-use controls in the U.S.A.
Journal of Planning and Property Law, praise for the first edition
This is a beautifully written book, infinitely more interesting and easy to read then the vast majority of planning literature, but, for all its lightness of touch, full of facts and information... It is, in fact, difficult not to seem to overpraise this admirable book.

Town and Country Planning, praise for the first edition
I consider this a very important summary of land use practices in the United States and a more important contribution than much of the material published here. In my opinion, it should be required reading in our planning schools.

The major part of this book is taken up with a clear and concise account of the machinery: this provides an excellent introduction to the subject without diversions into legal backwaters.
