Gorgeous volume of work with explanations on concept. Although TFA was able to survive initially on its own merit, good ideas will not keep a company going in the long run. Gehrman has produced a fascinating book on a strange bird and the eccentric but dedicated stewards who have saved it from extinction. This softcover is full of gorgeous home furnishings sourced from flea markets presumably from France. All interesting from an historical, a philosophical, and human perspective.. Enjoy..
