Great exhibition/Wonderful book
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 21 years ago
The subject of the book, Brooks Stevens, had an amazing career spanning decades. He lived in Milwaukee working for industrial giants but his influence spread far outside the Midwest. This book has wonderful essays, entries on specific design projects and great photos. The writing makes it interesting with anecdotal information and excerpts from Brooks Stevens.
