could anyone who owns (or has seen) this book, please weigh in? Seems quite expensive for a book of this size (for example, the Eames design book is approx 100 pages longer, for about half the price). I realize questions of value for items such as this are subjective (is it worth it TO ME), but I'd be curious of people's opinions on the thing. It currently has zero reviews on Amazon...
yes.
I got the book - I believe I paid $86 on Amazon. Definitely better than paying what Vitra charges at it's store. Great book if you are a Nelson fan, the amount of research it took to assemble his entire collective works is amazing, not to mention who they are attributed to in his office. Get it!
Post a picture of the clock!
There are more than enough rabid fans here to offer their opinion on the attribution of George Nelsons clocks. I'll begin publishing my unique archive of sales literature and financial statements for over twenty five years of the Howard Miller Company from early 1960's to late 1980's Post a Picture Of your clock, on another site, like Photobucket, etc. Then put the link into the comment section here.
I have the catalog in English
Brown cover is English and Red cover is in German.
An expensive book, but absolutely worth buying.
The listing of furniture, clocks and projects in the back generally list the actual artist who did the design for Nelson Associates.
The photographs in the back section are small, but it's an essential reference for my needs.
