Bohemian Modern:
Living in Silver Lake
by Barbara Bestor
"This worthy book is as difficult to define as the neighborhood it documents ... Even geographic boundaries are a bit fuzzy, with Echo Park, Atwater Village and Mt. Washington thrown in - perhaps an argument that Silver Lake has evolved to become not just a place but a state of mind."
While our own state of mind is open to this public display of affection from a designer who cut her teeth on Beastie Boys offices in Atwater Village, we have to wonder how many Silver Lake hipsters will start calling their real-estate agents when they hear half their neighborhood now lies east of I-5.

It's a kick ass book just for design ideas. Or to drool on. God knows I never look in a fancy book like this and then go out to buy a $1900 couch.
Isn't that what the CB2 catalog is for?
it is a beautiful book, even if the "bohemian modern" tag is vom-inducing.
