Multiple sources for the assertion that the BBC screened a 6-part series based on this book.

Do I need to show some or all of these on the main Wiki page?

The British edition contains a note that changes were made for legal reasons, but does not identify the architect involved. My sole source for the assertion that the changes to the British edition involved comments critical of Lord Rogers, as well as the fact that Brand himself prefers the British edition, comes from a review apparently contributed by Stewart Brand himself to the Amazon website. To my certain knowledge, this review has been there for several years and has not been challenged or repudiated.Can we not just link to this review? --RichardVeryard 14:23, 11 July 2006 (UTC)

"The British edition of my HOW BUILDINGS LEARN is much the best, because it is so well printed, and the 250 photographs read very well. Critical remarks about buildings by Richard Rogers, however, were censored out of this edition, thanks to legal threats by Mr. Rogers. They are intact in the American editions. The BBC did a fine 6-part TV series based on the book. --This text refers to the Paperback edition."
