If you are a product design afficionado this is the book for you. It's a survey of a firm responsible in on way or another for many of the most iconic furniture designs of the 20th century, including the whole range of Charles Eames designs. The book itself is a model of the best in graphic design. The photographs are fine, the text is readable and the format something to drool over. If, like me, you own a variety of Eames chairs, you will probably leave it on one of your ottomans, just to impress visitors.
