A wonderful book, but a bit too many pictures

As a reader of many of Arthur C. Clarkes books, I just had to get this one too. I love the topic of this book. And to see how with available technics it would be possible to develop a "Garden on Mars" is very amazing to read about. Unluckily, in my opinion, Clarke put a bit too much work into playing around with this picture creating tool. I am a computer techie and I know how much fun it can be to work with stuff like that. But a view less pictures would have worked just the same.
