Magic Motors 1930 reviewed by Jim Sweeney - (Found June 24, 2008 )

Sixty years ago, America was a leader in manufacturing luxury automobiles. It may be hard to believe today, when Cadillac makes one desperate attempt after another to build a car baby boomers will buy, and Chrysler has had a long, hard climb up from near-oblivion. But the proof is in Magic Motors 1930 by Brooks Brierley.

Diners: People and Places reviewed by Jim Sweeney - (Found June 24, 2008 )

Gerd Kittel's "Diners: People and Places" shows the range of diner architecture. The book has 68 color photos by Kittel. He knows how to arrange the scene so you linger over the image: sun lighting up interior or exterior metal and glass, neon glowing in twilight, a brightly lit diner looming out of a foggy night.
