Undesigning the Bath

Stone Bridge Press, 1996

An extraordinary collection of bathing environments
When my architect was beginning to design my new bathroom, I gave him a copy of this gem. He said it provided the inspiration for mine and every bath he's designed since. I've given copies to few other friends who were in a similar architectural process. I've received profuse thanks. If you're planning to build an unusual bath, I think this book is a must read.

Arranging Things: A Rhetoric of Object Placement

Leonard Koren

Stone Bridge Press, 2003

Waste of time and money
This idea for this book sold it, and I was intrigued. Alas, it was impossible to enjoy reading, and I did finally give up less than halfway through. Large type and flimsy wording is compounded by the need to refer to the back of the book's footnotes in almost every paragraph. This is so annoying and completely disrupts the flow of reading. The pictures are somewhat interesting, but the author ...

Gardens of Gravel and Sand

Stone Bridge Press, 2000

A conceptual tour de force
Everything I thought I knew about Japanese gardens, especially so-called "Zen Gardens," was turned on its head by this enlightening gem. I will never look at, or think about, Japanese rock gardens in the same way. Highly recommended for a completely fresh approach to an old subject.

How to Take a Japanese Bath

Stone Bridge Press, 2006

This book is like a beautiful poem
Though this book has few words, it conveys the sense of the Japanese bath and bath ritual with exquisite illustration and word images. There is no other book I have found that deals with this subject matter in such a poetic, thorough, yet unsentimental manner. It was especially useful prior to my first visit to Japan. It helped make sense of a simple but somewhat mystifying cultural ...

Leonard Koren, R. Wippo Meckler

Chronicle Books, 2001

AWSOME!
I'm a soon-to-be designer who has no academic training whatsoever and one day I had to to a project to finish my english course and I thought: "Ummm I'm making a magazine!" But as you probably know it's easier to think than to do and when I finally sat at my chair and started thinking about how I was gonna do that I completely blocked. And this is the part that Design Cookbook comes and saves me. ...

Leonard Koren

Chronicle Books, 1988

One of my all-time favorite books -- highly recommended
From "capsule hotels" to "tissue paper giveaways" to "coffee shop concepts," Leonard Koren takes the reader on a fascinating, informative tour of Japan. The writing is direct and lively, and the illustrations are superb. If you're looking for a quirky, delightful insight into the Japanese culture, I highly recommend this book.

Stone Bridge Press, 1994

delightful read for anyone interested in aesthetics or design
a close friend of mine loaned me the book on saturday - i read it once on sunday, and again yesterday (monday) the book is more powerful than i can describe in a review. 5-stars, no-brainer.. read this book! the orientation is more ideological than demonstrative or critical.. the relative shortage of (delightful!) examples leaves me wanting more. and as much as like loved this book, i ...
