Eames: Beautiful Details by Ray Eames, Gloria Fowler, Charles Eames, Eames Demetrios, Steve Crist
reinhardt's review against another edition
5.0
Inspirational.
Charles and Ray Eames were master of design at so many different media. This book captures their diversity of genius. Provides photo essays on all their important work in a human context. Limited text, which is the right amount for a book like this.
It doesn’t provide a lot of background, it more about inspiration than education.
Lots of photos. Many of them small, arrayed on the page in a grid like a slide show. The overall impact is multidimensional.
A beautiful book about design that works. If you need creative inspiration, I can’t think of a better option.

Definitely a coffee table book in all its definitions. Very light on the works and disciplines of the creative couple. Wish it was a bit more in depth much like the Girard book AMMO published as well. This is light in history and mostly anecdotal from family.
