'Who would want to read a book by one of a vanishing breed of old-style Tory peers about a building that never happened, designed by an architect who has never managed to get anything built in the UK? In the case of Opera House Lottery, the devastating tale of the failed attempt to build Zaha Hadid's competition-winning design by Nicholas Crickhowell, former chairman of the Cardiff bay Opera House Trust, the answer should be "everybody"'. Architects' Journal 'For anyone interested in attracting lottery money, or concerned with the tragicomedy of arts funding and public building in Britain, this is both an instructive read and a source of innocent merriment.' RIBA Journal.
