Koolhaas, Rem.

Delirious New York: A Retroactive Manifesto for Manhattan.

London: Thames & Hudson, 1978. First British edition. Folio. Original boards. Signed by the author on the title page. Fine in a near fine dust jacket with a single closed tear. Manhattan, Koolhaas writes, "is the 20th century's Rosetta stone . . . occupied by architectural mutations (Central Park, the Skyscraper), utopian fragments (Rockefeller Center, the U.N. Building), and irrational phenomena (Radio City Music Hall)." One of the great architectural classics of the second half of the 20th century. The British edition is much more uncommon than its American counterpoint.
