Comment 1: I came across your book by looking for “public and private”. Our books have many things in common. Starting by sharing the same book we found on Alice in Xenotheka: Elements of Architecture written by Rem Koolhaas. Moreover, we both stumbled upon this book by typing “public and private” in Alice’s search engine.
It also seems like both of our books have a lot of visual material, as you list that as a similarity between your book and Rem Koolhaas’s Elements of architecture and this is something I listed myself as a similarity of my book and Elements of Architecture.

Comment 2: I came across your book through the words “illustrations show columns” as my book is filled with illustrations and most of them show columns. This also seems to be the case in your book. As you wrote there are many illustrations and a lot of them show very precise illustrations of columns.
However not only the content is alike, also the physical attributes. Your books is large in size mine as well. Nevertheless, a physical difference is the thickness. Mine is a rather thick book and yours not as much.
Another difference is the year of publication. Mine was written about 200 years later.
