askmarkio's review against another edition

I really enjoyed this and I think your enjoyment will be based on what you are looking to get out of it.
I was looking for something to add to my book collection by sprinkling it about my book shelves and coffee table to add to the aesthetic. Secondly, I wanted a "coffee table" book. Lastly, I wanted to have something that would provide inspiration that varied from articles to pictures, and this did just that. I really enjoyed paging through this book, and reading the essays. I was not expecting a refreshing and honest takes with the subject matter. I especially liked the second on Home the best. The need to apologize for living in your home when guests come over was of particular interest. The obsession over an instagram/pinterest worthy place makes you wonder where YOU are in your home and if someone actually lives there. Granted, that is no excuse to have your dishes piling up ;-)

What a weird book.
Coffee table travel/hipsterporn with an overt 1960's layout and aesthetic.
Do you love turtleshell eyeglasses, sweaters, discussions of urban density, wood grain, and pictures that look like they were taken with VSCO filters? This the book for you!

Favourite section was the one on home!
A great design book with fantastic photographs - precise + passionate without being pretentious or concerned with an instagram-like aesthetic.
