"Palm Springs Weekend" is not book about what to do for the weekend in the dessert...unless you plan to explore the amazing architecture that still remains. | ||
Further Comments... | ||
The Kaufmann house (included in the book) is a must for mid-century mod groupies. As a matter of fact, my husband and I had to wait to get a look at the amazing home while a group of women oggled it before us, while teetering on boulders - and holding their own copy of "Palm Springs Weekend". | ||
