I don't even know where to begin to express the enjoyment I received from reading this book. I was engaged from page one and read the entire book in one sitting. Not only is it a great conversation piece on my coffee table but I am now looking forward to receiving more enjoyment as I give it to friends for the holidays along with items that will one day be "Antiques of the Future". Ms. Roberts has done an exceptional job with not only the writing, which is informative and humorous, but also the visual impact of the entire book. The unique photographic and creative approach parallels the achievements of the designers found within.

5.0 out of 5 stars Not just for the coffee table!!, November 8, 2006

This review is from: Antiques of the Future (Hardcover)

This book is informative, stimulating, and so well-designed that it undoubtedly will become a collectible "Antique of the Future" itself...It uses clever settings for photos of household products that are, or will become, design icons, along with a brief description of the item, its designer, and the inspiration for the design. I hope to have the pleasure of meeting Ms. Roberts some day.

This is the perfect gift for someone who appreciates great design in everyday objects. Who would have thought these items would become collectable! Lisa Roberts obviously recognized something special before any of us did and I surely hope there is a second book in the works. I have really enjoyed sharing my Antiques of the Future with friends and family.
