Good resource if you are interested in the subject Ursiform I live in Southern California and am interested in architecture. So I figured I should order this book.Its core period is one I have mixed feelings about. There were certainly some impressive buildings built. There was also a lot of insipid work, especially dull commercial buildings. This book offers up a mix. There are some well known gems. There are some lesser known buildings worth exploring. And there are some building I consider uninspired and generic.The book also struggles with its boundaries. The author somewhat apologizes for including Lloyd Wright. Amanda said Very informative, great photos!. This is a great little guide book with excellent photos and a very cool cover. I bought it for my husband who is really into mid-century modern architecture. He absolutely loves it! Makes for a great little coffee table book :-)
