I happen to find this website with lots of out-of-print design booklets. Just wanted to share.
Thank you for that link!
I've been playing with the idea myself lately of a website with scanned images of books/magazines from the 40s/50s/60s. Looks like this guy has already got one going and is open to expanding it. I just don't have any scanning capability in place at the moment, guess I'm going to have to start looking into that.
I would really love to be able to browse through some of those Arts & Architecture magazines from the 40s-50s. I've got a few, but I really don't want to collect/keep old magazines, I'd rather have digital versions and get rid of the paper.
If anyone knows of other similar websites, please let us know.

You have probably allready seen the Arts & Architecture website? While not having scanned the whole magazines, there are parts available online and listed alphabetically by architect...

Yes, I have seen everything they have on that site
I'm very appreciative that they posted as much as they did - wouldn't it be nice if more such magazines from that era were posted in toto? At least the people 50 years from now will already have digital versions of all our media available to them (of course, they'll probably complain that the resolution is too low, or it somehow does not fit with their super high-tech gadgets, whatever those might be -- or that too much is written in that ancient language, "English")
There are so many hidden treasures in those old magazines, even the ones you wouldn't necessarily expect to find something in.
