Seven partly underground rooms for water, ice and midgets

I was finally able to get my hot little hands on Mary Ann Ray's "Seven partly underground rooms for water, ice and midgets", Pamphlet Architecture No20
I had seen excerpts from this study ages ago (and I literally mean ages, as in decades)\
back when I was at SciArc
the book (or pamphlet to be accurate) presents MAR's study of sever oblique,
eccentric buildings in Rome
with her unique combination of archaeology, research and design
the book is just perfectly designed
but makes me wish it were published in a more luxurious edition
so we could really enjoy the fantastic photos and drawings
