There are plenty of books about the wonderful Deco buildings in Miami and I thought this was one of the better ones. Schwartzman had a clever idea for his book, it features historic postcards of many of the buildings and he took contemporary photos of them. The exteriors take up most pages followed by photos taking a closer look at lighting, glass, neon, terrazzo, metal, murals and decoration.
Schwartzman is a designer so the book is a handsome production. It's worth checking out his book Deco landmarks of Los Angeles published in 2005 (ISBN 0811846016).
