Seeing that book cover reminds me that Todd Oldham has a new show on HGTV on Mondays. He will show how to "Make Modern" in your own home. Todd is the guy who did a line of contemporary furnishings for the LazyBoy–manufacturer of comfortable, but extremely ugly furniture.

Do not let that image steer you away from the site. They have a ton of classic modern and contemporary literature.

Nice book - 335.00 :eek:

I love these old books. I have a collection that have grabbed over the years from junk stores, Salvation Army Stores etc. They sometimes smell a little musty, but they are quite interesting and a great reference. I mainly use them for identifying mid-century furniture that wasn't designed by the top designers of the time.

I agree- I was lucky enough to have a grandmother who worked at a library. she would grab any of the architecture books that came in as donations for the book sales for me. There is a lot to learn from those old books.

Is there anything better than grandmoms, libraries and books?
