1948ref. 1004053New York: Whitney Publications 1948. First edition of this wonderfully illustrated collection of articles first published in INTERIORS magazine in the original dust jacket designed by Alvin Lustig inscribed by author Francis Schroeder: "The first copy of my first book for my first wife - Bunny."

The first half of this volume "Anatomy for Interior Designers" offers ideal sizes and proportions for the furnishing of private and public spaces: "styles in furniture have nothing to do with these measurements. They will apply just as well to a Louis XV bergère as to a chromium and rawhide chair; to a quick lunch counter as to an office desk; to a Victorian love seat as to a park bench." The second half "How to Talk to a Client" provides practical advice on the pursuit cultivation and management of design clients: "It is possible to have a client give final approval to finished drawing without the use of alcohol but it is apparently seldom done." The recipient of this copy the wife of Schroeder's youth was Charlotte Dwight Church: by 1948 the year of the book's publication both Schroeder and Church had remarried.
