Awesome reference book. If you're in to modernism and ranch homes you won't be disappointed. Very informative on history of ranch homes but the main purpose is of course detailing the architecture and decorating style that make up these fabulous homes. Just enough detail without becoming tedious.

Good book with lots of interior and exterior pictures of houses. Only improvement would be more mod accessories shown, but overall I would recommend.

I've gambled on a few other books covering ranch homes, and none of them come close to this book. I have been a subscriber to the Magazine for over 2 years now and have been dying to get the book. God Bless the folks at Atomic Ranch. Finally, after a couple of strong hints, my wife got it for me for my birthday.This book is chock full of beautiful photographs of incredible mid-century masterpieces. BUY IT. Some are preserved, some restored, and some modernized.If this is your thing, (and I doubt you'd be reading these reviews if it wasn't)then this is the book you want.

Very nice book with lots of great photos they are mostly a collection from the magazine but worth having if you are into MCM.

The photos are great and the book is very informative.If you live in a plain ranch home, and enjoy a streamlined style of living, then I highly suggest you get this book. I love this book. The author's magazine (of the same name) is awesome and this book covers homes from the early issues which are no longer available (issues, not homes). It is full of practical tips and resources. I love seeing the beautiful interiors and exteriors of modest size homes which most people consider beneath their notice because they aren't historically "old enough" or architecturally significant.I have learned a lot about mid-century modern homes from reading this book.
