Heppy Twenty-0-Nine (and a cool book recommendation)  

Since it's getting a bit tired saying "Two-Thousand and Eight", when it really should be "Twenty-0-Eight" (thanks, Arthur C. Clarke and Stanley Kubrick), let's start off 2009 to promoting the standard way of saying it!

Heppy Heppy New year's everybody....hope yours is healthy and maybe we can get out of this financial funk.

(The 'Heppy' is a reference to Krazy Kat. God Bless Ignantz. Here's hoping noone tossed a brick at your head.)

Have you all seen a book called:

MODERN RETRO-Living with Mid-Century Modern Style
by
Neil Bingham & Andrew Weaving?

It was published in 2000 and is around. I highly recommend it because it's chock full of cool color photographs showing quality mid-century furniture classics in real life contemporary settings.

Everything's here; Jacobsen, Eames, Saarinen, Nelson, Knoll, Betroia, and lots of lamps, pottery and other furnishings.

A nice book, especially useful for anyone putting together their collection of mid-century stuff.
