Bohemian Modern: Living in Silver Lake
Bohemian Modern is a sublime book, artfully bridging the gap between pretty to look at but dust-covered coffeetable paperweights and too basic utilitarian primers. Bestor does an excellent job of chronicling life in a particular time and place but also drawing parallels that can be applied universally by anyone seeking vintage-meets-this moment balance.
