More bridges please

This is a wonderful book for bridge and dam lovers. It manages to cover quite a bit, but could use an update, longer discussion of each project, and MORE BRIDGES! But then, you can't have too many interesting bridges in my experience. The book covers bridges and dams coast-to-coast as they were in 1989, as well as some which were already gone as of that date. Recommended.
