If you're a Mid-century Modernist fan looking to fill out your library, boy have we found a treasure trove for you: eBay user AllenLefferts has got a stack of more than 400 Industrial Design magazines dating back to February 1954!
More specifically,
...a nearly complete set of INDUSTRIAL DESIGN MAGAZINES from Feb. 1954 through Oct. 2009. There are only 16 issues missing (out of 448).
...INDUSTRIAL DESIGN MAGAZINE is simply the most comprehensive, detailed, and complete reference resource for post-war modern design ever published. Tons of articles, photos, and even advertising that document design history as it was made by such greats as Eames, George Nelson, Knoll, Herman Miller, Alvar Aalto, Donald Deskey, Henry Dreyfuss, Alexander Girard, Arne Jacobsen, Peter Hvidt, Philip Johnson, Finn Juhl, Le Corbusier, Raymond Loewy, Alvin Lustig, Paul McCobb, Mies van der Rohe, Nakashima, Neutra, Gio Ponti, Jens Risom, Edward Wormley, Schultz, Wendell Castle, Paul Evans, Bertoia, Hans Wegner, Verner Panton, Saarinen, Vladimir Kagan, Joe Colombo, etc., etc., etc. - and as the years went by, the list just grows. It's all there!
As I write this, there are three days left in the auction, and zero bids.
