Garden Getaways: Havens at Home
Outdoor rooms have become more popular than ever, and these remarkable designs show how to turn any garden into a personal paradise.
Every one of these nature-filled spaces, created by major architect Michael Glassman, provides a haven for relaxation, an escape from the stress and strain of daily life. Just looking at the superb color photographs will give a gardener inspiration and spark the desire to redesign. On stunning display are candlelit backyards with comfortable furniture, terraces with a calming view, soothing water features and pools, walls that block out the world and ensure privacy, and flowers and shrubbery to delight the eye. Glassman explains in detail how he came to construct each one, carefully listing the problems he encountered along the way, from poor drainage to major erosion to direct sun, and how he solved them. A planting list accompanies each layout.

The Secular Furniture of E. W. Godwin by Susan Weber Soros, ISBN 0300081596
Victorian architect-designer E. W. Godwin (1833-1886), tying himself neither morally nor aesthetically to a single style, approached design with what he called "judicious eclecticism." Seeking to design furniture appropriate to the needs of modern living, he grappled with the problems of affordability, utility, and function and experimented with modular and fitted furniture decades before it became popular in the mid-twentieth century. This book is the first comprehensive study of Godwin's furniture designs. Taking the form of a catalogue raisonne, the book documents and reproduces all known examples of his secular furniture and related furniture designs.
Susan Weber Soros traces the development of Godwin's style, examines its sources, and assesses the historical importance of his work. She discusses how Godwin combined antiquarian interests with the study of more recent design traditions from different parts of the world, Including Japan. Godwin worked in six major styles: Gothic revival,...

Jimmy Corrigan: The Smartest Kid on Earth by Chris Ware, ISBN 0375714545
This first book from Chicago author Chris Ware is a pleasantly-decorated view at a lonely and emotionally-impaired "everyman" (Jimmy Corrigan, the Smartest Kid on Earth), who is provided, at age 36, the opportunity to meet his father for the first time. An improvisatory romance which gingerly deports itself between 1890's Chicago and 1980's small town Michigan, the reader is helped along by thousands of colored illustrations and diagrams, which, when read rapidly in sequence, provide a convincing illusion of life and movement. The bulk of the work is supported by fold-out instructions, an index, paper cut-outs, and a brief apology, all of which concrete to form a rich portrait of a man stunted by a paralyzing fear of being disliked.
