Official 2014 guide to the ArcelorMittal Orbit at Queen Elizabeth Olympic Park, London, created as part of the London 2012 Olympic legacy.
This illustrated softcover guide explores the striking red steel landmark designed by Anish Kapoor and Cecil Balmond, covering its inspiration, construction, setting within the Olympic Park, regeneration context and role as a major piece of public art and engineering.
eBay condition: Very Good. The guide is in very good overall condition. The front cover remains bright and glossy, with light surface rubbing and minor edge/corner wear visible from the photographs. The rear cover is clean overall, with mild handling marks and slight edge wear.
The spine appears sound and the book sits flat, with no heavy creasing or major distortion apparent. Internal pages shown are clean and well presented, with colour photographs and design content displaying nicely. Overall a smart copy with light normal shelfwear.
No ownership inscription has been noted from the supplied photographs. If any small ownership mark or previous bookseller mark is present but not visible in the images, it will be minor and consistent with a used contemporary guidebook.
Items are normally dispatched the next working day. Weekend orders dispatch Monday, excluding Bank Holidays. Packed securely in protective cardboard book packaging.
Collector’s Note: A niche official guide to one of London’s most recognisable Olympic legacy landmarks. Of interest to collectors of London 2012 material, Queen Elizabeth Olympic Park publications, Anish Kapoor-related items, contemporary public art and architectural engineering guides.
