 | Houses by Beth Dunlop
Fallingwater, the Villa Mairea and the Eames House -by Frank Lloyd Wright, Alvar Aalto and Charles and Ray Eames respectively -- represent pinnacles of modern residential design. Fallingwater is one of the most inventive houses of Wright's long career, showing him to be an architect of immense creativity and daring. Aalto drew on a deep understanding of vernacular building, classicism and modernism, and on a love of natural materials, to create the humane, rich and lyrical Villa Mairea. Charles and Ray Eames' own house was assembled entirely from standardized industrial components composed with a sensitive irregularity. Together, these buildings represent the responses of some of the world's most respected architects to the problems of residential design. AUTHOR: Beth Dunlop

 | Watson-Guptill Sktechbook by Watson-Guptill Publications Staff
Now available in four colors and three sizes, these sketchbooks are ideal for artists on the go. Both serious artists and casual doodlers have found dozens of uses for these handsome sketchbooks, which are now offered in four colors and three sizes. Many choose the popular 8 1/4 x 11 format for working outdoors or toting to art class. Others like to toss the smaller 51/2 x 8 1/4 size or the new 4 x 6 size (hunter green only) into a purse or backpack so they are always ready to jot down visual ideas or sketch an interesting character. The archival-quality, vellum-finish paper is especially appealing to artists. It will not yellow with time, ensuring the preservation of their drawings, and its smooth surface readily accepts pencil, ballpoint, pen-and-ink, charcoal, marker, and other drawing mediums. Artists also appreciate the rounded and sewn bindings, which allow the books to lie flat while they work. The covers have a leather finish but are actually tough, waterproof Kivar. Trim size, number of pages, and other specifications are printed on a peel-off sticker. AUTHOR: Watson-Guptill Publications Staff

 | Emigre by Mary E. Gray, Rudy Vanderlans, Zuzana Licko
In 1984 a radically new graphic design magazine set out to explore the as-yet-untapped and uncharted possibilities of Macintosh-generated graphic design. Boldly new and different, Emigre broke rules, opened eyes and earned its creators, Rudy VanderLans and Zuzana Licko, cult status in the world of graphic design. After a decade of publishing, the jury is still out on Emigre. But now, thanks to this comprehensive 10-year retrospective, you can reach your own conclusions. Are Emigre’s Mac-generated graphics important, influential and controversial…or just plain ugly? You decide. "The only people who have trouble reading Emigre are graphic designers who have been trained to make type clear. The rest of the world doesn’t live in that purist atmosphere." —Chuck Byrne, Print Magazine, September 1992 Here gathered together for the first time, you’ll find: Every Emigre cover ever issued A full catalog of over 80 Emigre typefaces Emigre’s most striking editorial layouts Plus stimulating and provocative commentary from both Rudy VanderLans and Zuzana Licko How has a magazine that prints just 7,000 copies managed to outrage so many graphic designers while inspiring so many others? The answer is in your hands. AUTHOR: Mary E. Gray, Rudy Vanderlans, Zuzana Licko
