Vitra Nelson book worth the hefty price tag?  

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!

does it have pics of all clocks attributed to him? I am looking for one in particular.

great book more like a ...
great book more like a text book. I bought it at cooter in Scott in Dallas. a vitra store.

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.

Buy it...
It's worth it. It contains an almost complete list of his works and goes into a more in-depth treatment of his life and works than any other book.

alright, you guys are swaying...
alright, you guys are swaying me 🙂 thank you all for your comments!

It's really a great reference
If you buy this, as well as reprints of the Herman Miller catalogs (from Schiffer), then you'll have a comprehensive look at the wonderful designs that came out of the George Nelson Associates office!
