Breuer Hardcover – June 27, 2016

This is not a review of this book - Breuer by Robert McCarter - but a WARNING to anyone thinking about purchasing books or any other item from CE_BOOKHOUSE, and photo evidence of the "NEW" copy of Phaidon's beautiful Breuer edition that they sent me.There is no way a book is mistreated and frankly destroyed as an object, by sitting on a shelf or in some other form of reasonable storage. What you can see in the pictures appears to be more than just negligence, and looks like deliberate damage that cannot be made by simply dropping it on the floor several times, scratching it with a sharp object, soaking it and let it mold, but at the least by all the above.I do not only feel ill treated but offended by the utter disregard shown by CE_BOOKHOUSE (https://www.amazon.com/s?me=A27SBMZTKG1FOT&merchant=A27SBMZTKG1FOT&qid=1523325440) for me as a customer, for the publisher, whose book it is delivering and presenting, and for amazon, whose reputation is also dragged through the mud.It is insulting that I, as a paying customer, have to find the time and bother to write and call amazon, write a review and do my part to call attention to the unacceptable service provided by an amazon-affiliated Seller, while I don't get as much as an apology or a compensation for my horrible experience, from CE_BOOKHOUSE's part.I sincerely hope for a substantial penalty for CE_BOOKHOUSE and hopefully it's banning from amazon. While Iam not holding my breath in this respect, I will at least upload the pictures of the destroyed book I had to unpack after a week of waiting.I will also post these pictures on the Phaidon editorial's twitter account, along with the name of the amazon-affiliated Seller that desecrated their book, misrepresented the quality of their work and did them an awful favor, in order to draw their attention to the complete disregard CE_BOOKHOUSE has for its books and for who are ultimately Phaidon's customers.I hope anyone reading this, and viewing these pictures, considers giving their business to a Seller with respect for customers and the books it distributes and commercializes, and staying away from buying anything from CE_BOOKHOUSE.STAY AWAY FROM CE_BOOKHOUSE!

Weighing in at a hefty six pounds, this well-produced and researched text exhaustively covers the career of Breuer from many viewpoints and contains hundreds of photographs and illustrations. This is a seminal work. I would think that even if you have other material on Breuer this would contain new viewpoints and is a worthwhile addition to an existing library of De Stijl, Bauhaus, and International Style works--or a fantastic starting point if it's your first book on Breuer.

A great collection from an incredible artist.

Excellent!!!

I will be brutally honest: this is a 'must read' for any design or architecture student, scholar or enthousiast. 6 stars!

Excellent

Excellent book!
