Here's what the reviewers have to say:
"...A significant contribution to an important and understudied
subject...enriched with
images
by Ernie Braun, the original photographer of
Eichler's brave new world."
--Thomas S. Hines, London Times
"...The second book on the topic and a vast improvement over 'Eichler Homes:
Design for Living'...This new work is handsome and rides the continuing wave of
nostalgia for mid-century design...The book is important for serious students of
California modernism and domestic architecture, and, of course, for mid-century
groupies."
-- Kenneth Caldwell, Line Magazine (of American Institute of
Architects, San Francisco)
"Paul Adamson and Marty Arbunich have created a satisfying tome for both
architectural
buffs and retrophiles worldwide..." -- Frank Nolan, Eichler Network
"Broad in format and with much white space, this book continues to sell
Eichler's vision..." -- Neil Jackson, Journal of Architecture
"...Combining architectural history, Ernest Braun's impossibly idyllic marketing
photographs, and a character study of a hard-nosed businessman and dreamer
Joseph Eichler, the book examines the largely Northern California phenomenon
that brought modernism to the masses." -- Allen Clapp, Palo Alto Weekly
"There is no 'how-to' book for re-creating the postwar interior -- yet. Those so
interested will have to look to a crop of rather scholarly tomes for a basic
education in the design of the period. Top of my list is 'Eichler/Modernism
Rebuilds the American Dream' text-heavy and filled with black-and-white images,
it's a book that captures the spirit of its subject." -- Patricia Poore,
Old-House Interiors

This is the first of its kind -- the original Eichler book, published in 1995. A
commendable production by Jerry Ditto. Includes reflections by Joe Eichler's
son, Ned, and a foreword by Sally Woodbridge. Beautiful contemporary photographs
from Eichler owner Marvin Wax. Highly recommended.
