Gorgeous Photos and Interesting Text

This book is really great for those of us interested in the evolution of design in the 20th century. Moving chronologically, the book showcases some familiar as well as some forgotten design marvels. The photography is really top quality and the short essays which accompagny each piece are interesting. I loved it.
