Eames House: Charles and Ray Eames

by James M. Steele

The "Architecture in Detail" series comprises books that focus on individual buildings noted for their exceptional character, innovative design or technical virtuosity. Each volume contains a text by a respected author, a sequence of colour and black-and-white photographs and a set of technical drawings and working details. Charles Eames, who always worked with his wife and partner Ray, was the most innovative and broad-based of American designers. The Eames House was one of his few experiments with architecture. Highly successful, it is one of the most important of the "Case Study" series and a highly significant building of the post-war era.

A great book about a great structure & talented couple.
But it did not give Ray enough credit and the text was too small for my 88 year old eyes.
