Average Reviews:
(More customer reviews)This is my first Art Deco architecture book and I found it to be a perfect introduction to this design movement. The book has multiple color photos on almost every page and is organized nicely. A few of the photos are fuzzy, but this did not detract from my enjoyment. In fact it inspired me (as a novice) to go out, look up, and photograph the architecture around me. And I find myself looking at buildings that I admired prior to reading the book in a new light.
Several local walks are listed in the second half of the book (along with photos to enjoy if you can't make it yourself) as well as a list of Art Deco societies around the country (some sponsor walks and events).

With lavish color plates and itineraries and maps for nine tours of the Bay Area, this beautiful book is a stunning and authoritative guide to Deco beauty in San Francisco. 150 color plates.
