Vintage, Future Perfect - Reviews
"The German publisher TASCHEN produces some of the handsomest and most intriguing art books available today, and whether they're $10 or $60, all are bargin-priced. Future Perfect is a sort of pocket-sized coffee-table book, a collection of color illustrations from magazines of the 1920s, '30s, '40s, and '50s depicting what daily life was going to be like - or at least what daily life ought to be like if people got their act together - in the America of the future."SciFi Magazine, New YorkUnited States |

"Future Perfect ist eine schöne farbige Sammlung von Illustrationen aus Amerikas Magazinen der 20er-, 30er-, 40er-, und 50er-Jahre in kleinem Kaffeetisch-Buchformat, die aufzeigt, wie das alltägliche Leben damals war ... Der deutsche TASCHEN-Verlag hat mit diesem Buch ein weiteres Designbuch auf den Markt gebracht, von denen es einfach noch mehr braucht."Massiv, ZürichSwitzerland |

"Remember how much fun the future used to be? Now it's all cyberspace and nanotechnology, but back in the mid 20th century, the future was full of flying cars, robotic lawn mowers and cities on the moon. That goofy, glorious past is remembered in Future Perfect, a nifty little book compiled by Jim Heimann."Rockford Register, RockfordUnited Kingdom |
