This book in two vols., has been researched, documented with amazing photos and clearly indicates and reflects the mood of the times in America in the mid-century.
As a research tool it is invaluable, as an architect or designer you will learn how the Eames office actually worked, and that the myth of Ray and Charles is not what many historians would have you believe as the God and Goddess of modern design.
It seems Saarinen, Bertoia, Ain and Albinson designed, refined and were given little if no credit for the entire line of funiture of the Eames, whereas Charles Eames had his focus on women, photography (lots of close-ups), and basically taking credit for all the work done at the 901 Washington Blvd., Venice building.
I cannot put the book down, perhaps the best design book I have bought in many years.
A beautiful work and many thanks to the authors, designers Mr. & Mrs. Neuhart for setting the record straight!
