Do yourself a big favor and Just Buy It !!!!!Also, if after reading this one, you want to see more of Julius Shulman's gorgeous work, get yourself his "Modernism Revisited" masterpiece, which you will love as much as his Palm Springs book reviewed here.

A beautiful book, worth purchasing.

I want to live in Palm Springs so badly. This is the next best thing. Tons of great old houses and photos. Well made. I love this book.

Love this book. Went to PS for the first time. Took an Architecture Tour. Used this book as a Primer before the tour. Lots of information and interesting tidbits, plus the photography is gorgeous.

This is just a gorgeous book. We saw the exhibit at the Palm Springs Art Museum on which it is based, and the book lives up to the exhibit. It's a beautifully photographed (of course -- Shulman does amazing things with light and contrast) retrospective of Desert Mid-Century Modern, and Alan Hess provides his usual informative commentary. A must-have for Desert Modern enthusiasts!

A fabulous book . Filled with all kinds of great original pictures from the period, of a lot of the great architectural gems of Palm Springs.

The book was new in perfect condition. Julius Shulman's photography and the authors detailed writing captured a cross section of the Mid-Century Modern Architecture of the 5o's.

If you love and appreciate Mid-century Modern Architecture, you will want to purchase this book. Julius Shulman was a genius photographer and his biography is a great read. Enjoy!

as an admirer of mid-century modernism, this book is filled with some wonderful images of the architecture of the time (and place).as an architect, i would have loved to see some drawings and details to go with the photography, but the book is simply a joy to look at.

Libro splendido, ma arrivato con sovracopertina danneggiata

The best book on the epicenter of mid century modern. Most of these properties are so valued, and preserved to this day,due to these mythological photos that introduced this architecture to the world.
