This was from the library of my late father - he bought it when he was in Architecture School at the University of Nebraska in the 1950's.
This is a fantastic design resource for furniture with the mid century modern aesthetic.
Everything from chairs, tables, garden furniture, school furniture, coffee tables, desks, cats, office furniture, living room furniture, credenzas, bedroom furniture, kitchen furniture/cabinets, wardrobes, convertible arm-chair beds, couches, and more.
There are a lot of detailed diagrams with measurements.
The cover is showing quite a bit of age, both the dust jacket and the cloth hard cover.
The interior pages, in contrast, are in great condition with no marks, no writing, no tears, no creases, no damage at all. It does have my father's name written on the inside first page (Tom Gibson.)
NO ODORS.
I would love for this to go to a good home. It reminds me so much of my dad.
The MCM designs are fantastic!
