as much as i'd love to buy this collection i have neither the space nor the spare cash (£400!) but i thought it worth sharing for those who may be interested .......

"The first part (1945-1954) of our facsimile edition of John Entenza's groundbreaking magazine, which launched the Case Study House Program; in ten boxes, each containing one year's worth of magazines"

Talking about Taschen...
Without taking anything away from Arts and Architecture, mentioning Taschen's reprint effort is not complete without the Domus 1928-1999 collection...slightly more expensive. If you can affort one please donate one to the closest university...they can't affort it. You can always borrow it back and it keeps your minimalist interior clean.

Domus
I bought two of the Domus editions from Amazon, £26 instead of £40, each.

Damn
Yet another book or book set that I can't buy! I have been wanting the thick, hardcover CSH book and the plywood cover Neutra book forever. Now this!

It depends on the size of the books.
Those Taschen books that are 7 1/2" (or so) tall are way too small and the print requires a magnifying glass.
The larger ones are just fine.

I just saw this. And I just got back from Europe, so of course the bank account is a little weary. A friend is going to get it for Christmas - I guess I'm going to be hanging out at his house a lot...

What sort of market is there for 'Interiors' Magazine - I recently bought a very large run (15 large bound volumes from the 50s and 60s)? I'm in the UK so a very rare find over here and some amazing pieces illustrated.

I'd say Interiors has a mixed market. Some sell, some don't. Having the bounded volume is nice. Did you win this off ebay? I forgot to bid...it was a UK auction house.
