Synopsis
This is the first book to reveal the eccentric treasure trove of commercial, civic, and domestic architecture that makes Palm Springs a true oasis of progressive design. Not merely regarded as a Hollywood playground, golf enclave, or retirement mecca, Palm Springs is also a bastion of idiosyncratic modernism that is unparalleled in the world. Creating stunning homes and an impressive array of other buildings in the middle of the desert, such masters as Albert Frey, Richard Neutra, John Lautner, R. M. Schindler, Donald Wexler, and Lloyd Wright exercised their creative potential there. Palm Springs Weekend explores everything from the grandiose, such as Neutra's Kaufmann house, to the more humble features of the city--motels, trailer homes, and the ubiquitous metal and concrete sunscreens that shade them. Filled with hundreds of archival and contemporary photographs, elevations, and vintage ephemera, Palm Springs Weekend reveals an inimitable city where modern design, Hollywood glamour, and the desolate drama of the desert coalesce.

- e***- (85)- Feedback left by buyer.Past 6 monthsVerified purchaseFantastic experience all around! The transaction was fast and easy, with smooth communication every step of the way. The item arrived quickly, was securely packaged, and matched the description perfectly. Seller was responsive, helpful, and clearly cares about providing great service. One of the best eBay sellers I’ve had the pleasure of dealing with. 10 out of 10—highly recommended! Would absolutely buy from again without hesitation. Thanks so much!
- e***o (881)- Feedback left by buyer.Past monthVerified purchaseBook arrived well-packaged and in fine condition. But a comment is in order about the tracking. Piss-poor! Labeled 'UPS', but delivered by USPS. The tracking says it's still on the way despite being delivered yesterday. Several "Delivery dates" were posted on their site, which came and went. The 'Contact information' said that calling them would yield nothing more than their site offered, which was nothing. So, pleased by the product and packaging, my only complaint being of the tracking.
- t***t (112)- Feedback left by buyer.Past 6 monthsVerified purchaseShipped quickly, well packed, and in advertised condition. It was listed as being in good condition and, other than a big crease in the back cover, the rest of the book was in very good condition so the description was accurate. I also bought another book from the seller and that one was better than advertised condition so this is a very good seller.
