Editorial Reviews John Updike, The New Yorker [Hine's] sympathetic grasp of...the affinity between the potato chip's 'free-form' shape and the doubly-curving furniture of Charles Eames and Eero Saarinen showed what a mysteriously alert sensibility could make of vulgar forms usually kept outside the pale of serious consideration. --This text refers to the Hardcover edition. Alan J. Adler, Los Angeles Times Thomas Hine sets forth in clear, entertaining prose his textbook of consumerism in the Push Button Age. This is more than just a coffeetable book...It is a historical/psychological analusis that documents the American Dream through the things we bought. --This text refers to the Hardcover edition.
