Mid-Century Modern: Furniture of the 1950s (ISBN 0517884755)

Designers of the 50's:
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.

MODERN 1950'S DESIGN:
This is a wonderful coffee table book, a joy to browse through. It is profusely illustrated and contains a wealth of information. If you like modern design I also suggest to visit the wonderful online archive about George Nelson at WWW.GEORGENELSON.ORG and also the museum archive from Verner Panton at WWW.VERNERPANTON.COM

Great contents, nice photos!!:
Widely covered mid-century master pieces by famous designers. If you are interested in vintage furnitures, this would be your great guide.

Should be titled "Mid Century Chairs and little else":
If you are looking for a book on Mid Century Chairs, look no further. I however was searching for a book on furniture not exclusive of chairs. The book is well organized and informative, but it was not what I was looking for.

In the Top 5 Mid Century Modern books I've read!:
Excellent text as well as photos. It has been a collector's reference for me for years now. Highly recommended.
