From the Dust Jacket: "What do Charlie Chaplin's former offices in Los Angeles, the cavelike interior of a turn-of-the-century brickmaking kiln, an army garage in San Francisco, and a Baptist church in Dallas all have in common? They are just a few of the diverse structures across the country that have been recycled as restaurants. Ocean liners and railroad stations, townhouses and firehouses, factories and office buildings, banks and post offices offer the potential… RECYCLED AS RESTAURANTS features fifteen case studies of different spaces that have been converted to restaurants - all innovatively designed to suit the unique environments offered by the original structures… In addition… a section of 'short studies' is showcased in the back of the book."

About About Books
About Books (Genny and Michael Winne, proprietors, formerly of Parsippany, New Jersey) has been selling rare and OP books since 1985. Besides book fairs and mail-order catalogues, long-time collectors and dealers will remember our lengthy For Sale ads in the Antiquarian Bookman and similar magazines. Our inventory of over 40,000 volumes is especially strong in the specialties listed, but contains fine books in a variety of other fields as well. Because most of our books are stored in protective boxes, rather than on shelves, they cannot be viewed as a whole.

Phone calls to (702) 750-2722 are welcome, but please, only between the hours of 8am and 10pm (west coast time).
