Yeah, that's right. It's just a 'cute' way of presenting thoughts on the urban realm. Like you say, nothing new, just remixed in each publication. The way they write about what they see is quite poetic and I think that's where the charm is. Like your writing really, but what they've done is edited very succinctly and amplified the good bits, but there is a lot of repetition. Sometimes it seems they're saying things for the sake of it, because it's already been said before but in a different way.
Maybe they ended up with too many pictures and needed to fill gaps or maybe they don't have enought material to fill the book? Who knows.

Yeah, it's quite clever the way that they've taken ideas that have been kicking around for a while, like overlaying a map of Paris on a map of London, and making it seem fresh somehow. There's actually nothing new in any of their work. That's all down to the presentation.
