Two books on my wishlist
Iconic Australian Houses: Three Decades of Domestic Architecture by Karen McCartney looks like a feast for the eyes even if you’re not an architect. (And I’m not.) Dan Hill has a comprehensive review on his City of Sound blog.
Dan also mentions a book by Elizabeth Farrelly called Blubberland: The Dangers of Happiness, which asks questions about our inability to change our excessive habits.
Iconic Australian Houses is out of stock on Amazon US, but Blubberland’s available (and cheap). Might try to find them both at one of these supposedly great Melbourne art and architecture bookstores, unless someone buys them for me first :-)
