Summary: Designers of the 50's
Comment: My sister has just bought a 1950's ranch home with some original features. I was hoping this book would help celebrate the house and give some ideas as to decor. Instead, it is a good overview of the furniture designers who influenced the furniture of the time. It's nice, but not what I was looking for, which was the physical living space/furnishings of the middle class of the 50's.

Summary: Well-Written And Detailed, But No Heywood-Wakefield??
Comment: The author is a very good writer, and obviously knowledgeable and passionate about her subject -- I do like this book very much (finished it in 2 days!). But how could Heywood-Wakefield, the great producer of streamlined modern most noted for its blonde 1950s furniture, not be mentioned? I don't get it...
Peace -

Summary: Mid-century is coming back strong!
Comment: Not that it ever really went away, but it appears that the GEN-X crowd is interesting in filling their lofts, condos, etc. with a touch of class and history. Those in the design know have always favored the elements of design that existed in the 50's and 60's, like they say good design is truly timeless. It would have been nice to see more coverage on DUNBAR and Edward Wormley.
This is a great book - buy it!
