Hirshorn, Paul and Steven Izenour. The MIT Press, 1986 (3rd Printing). Softbound. A monograph celebrating the golden-era hamburger chain's architecture, which, the authors write, constituted 'a range of interesting variations on a single theme . . . attributable . . . to owners who took a positive delight in tinkering with their buildings, coupled with a staff that had the skill to carry out the architectural experiments.' Izenour is best known for writing, with Robert Venturi and Denise Scott-Brown, the influential study Learning from Las Vegas, praised by Tom Wolfe for its critique of heroic modernism.
Tight, square, uncreased spine. Clean, unmarked interior. Some very gentle edge-wear, but no other notable wear. 189 pp. Architecture.
