A COMPUTER PERSPECTIVE

The Office of Charles & Ray Eames

[Office of] Charles & Ray Eames: A COMPUTER PERSPECTIVE [A sequence of 20th century ideas, events, and artifacts from the history of the information machine]. Cambridge: Harvard University Press, 1973. First edition. A near fine hardcover book in full, corner-reinforced cloth in a good printed glassine dust jacket. The fragile (and scarce) glassine dustwrapper is chipped at spine ends and corners. Former owners circular emboss to front free endpaper. The presence of the dust wrapper makes this an unusual and very desireable edition.

9 x 9 hardcover book with 174 pages and many images based on the exhibition of the same name at the IBM Exhibit Center, NYC. Book design by Paul Bruhwiler, Inc. for the Office of Ray and Charles Eames. Edited by Glen Fleck. Produced by Robert Staples. Introduction by I. Bernard Cohen.

A truly stunning volume in terms of design and production -- selected by the American Institute of Graphic Arts (AIGA) for "50 (best designed) Books of the Year" in the year of publication.
