As such it is an invaluable aid to the student of contemporary taste, the interior designer, the collector of tomorrow's antiques and to anyone who cares about the environment that designers have created for us. It is both a discussion of the shaping forces such as the youth market, the work of modern designers, and on evaluation of the products of the period likely to prove of permanent value and significance in the years to come.Due to the weight of this book, there will be extra postage costs
