Tjek vores konkurrenters priser
With Selling the Dwelling: The Books That Built America's Houses, Richard W. Cheek has assembled more than 200 rare books, periodicals, drawings, and printed ephemera documenting the history of the American dream of home ownership. Beginning in 1775, with George Bell’s reproduction of Abraham Swan’s The British Architect, the catalogue, which supported the eponymous Grolier Club exhibition, proceeds chronologically, covering such developments as the post-Civil War explosion of architectural book publishing, the growing importance of magazines like House Beautiful in the 1880s, the precut homes produced by Sears Roebuck and Montgomery Ward, the post-World War II home-building boom, the rapid changes to the literature of house building after 1970, and the significance of the Internet, which offered CD-ROMS in place of printed catalogues. Throughout, Cheek highlights the more visually arresting and socially compelling examples of this genre, focusing on books that reveal the character of our country as much as they do the style of our houses.
