Wow -- Great Illustrations!,
By
This review is from: Hollywood Homes: Postcard Views Of Early Stars' Estates (Schiffer Book for Collectors) (Paperback)
This is an excellent reference guide to the architecture of Golden Age Hollywood. The paper is quality -- glossy and heavy-weight -- and the color illustrations are superbly reproduced. It's lots of fun to look through, and what surprises is how modest some of the homes are, compared to the mega mansions of today. The price guide isn't very useful, however. In addition, I would have preferred more about the history of the house rather than the brief star bios. For example, I'd love to know if the house still stands--or even have comparison contemporary photographs of the house/site. There are also the inevitable typos. Perhaps the most obvious one is "Clarke Gable." And why no index for a relatively small book? Still, no book is perfect and this one is gorgeous--you won't regret your purchase if you're a fan of old Hollywood. Some of my favorites are the residences of Bette Davis, Claudette Colbert, Eleanor Powell, and William Powell.
