Retro Remake It's an interesting text but disappointing in its' blend of British and US mid-century modern. I had hoped for more American mid-century modern. The text borders on a craft book approach of "projects you can do at home".I had hoped for more focus on mid-century modern classics. Would not buy again, but that is due to my error in not reading the descriptions more carefully.. J. Knapp said Great Book. This book is great for the coffee table. Its interesting, fun, and adds some color to a dreary day.. Great Ideas A Customer This book has many helpful ideas about turning modern items into retro-looking pieces. A definite help if you're in the market for something and just can't find it you can do it yourself.
