American Modern

I was excited to receive an advance copy of American Modern by Thomas O’Brien yesterday. I think I may have actually squealed with delight upon opening the package. I have been looking forward to the release of this book since I first sped it on Amazon.com last June and I'm happy to report that it doesn't disappoint. We all know the photos are the most important part of any design book and they are beautiful, but what I really enjoyed were the stories behind each object, room and project. The book won't be officially released until April 1, 2010 but I suggest you reserve your copy now. I think it's going to be a best seller!

Modern Americana

I'm so excited for the release of Todd Merrill and Julie Iovine's new book Modern Americana: Studio Furniture From High Craft to High Glam and it's launch party next week! There really isn't a good comprehensive guide to this period and since Todd is such an expert, I'm glad he was the one to put it together! “ With interest in this field at an all-time high among collectors, auction houses, museums, designers, and shelter magazines, I decided the time was ripe to write the definitive book about these modern masters,” he says. Enjoy!
