Over the winter break I’ve developed a slight obsession with the work of Michael S. Smith and orderer several of his books. Although every book is lovely, Michael S.Smith – Houses, published by Rizzoli in 2008, is by far my favorite! Obviously, a book published in 2008 hardly needs an introduction or review on my part. However, in the sea of countless design books that are being published each year, the good ones naturally rise to the top and become classics worth returning to time and time again.
