Book of Holiday and Weekend Houses
The House & Garden Book of Holiday and Weekend Houses is a comprehensive survey of the twentieth-century's rediscovery of the need to escape. Here is an exciting and authoritative look into the world of the escapist retreat. But it isn't just a pretty-pretty manual for escapists. This is a practical book, complete with plans and documentation covering facts structural as well as decorative fancies. This book is lavishly illustrated with superb colour photographs as well as hundreds of black and white pictures taken by House & Garden and leading free-lance photographers. In addition, scores of plans and diagrams make the book a thoroughly practical guide to the would-be escapee or anyone determined to get a holiday house this year. In short, it is a realist's and a dreamer's book.
