ABBEY'S BOOKSELLER PICK ----- If you (or a loved one) have any interest in design or in architecture, then take a look at this absolutely beautiful production from NewSouth Books. The earthy tones of the jacket, printed onto tactile cloth bound hardback, immediately signify the rugged Australian bushland - you'll be hearing the whipbirds and cicadas! Inside is the most extensive collection of imagery and essays of the life and works of an architect. Lots of beautiful photos of the houses and buildings, along with much historical information of twentieth-century Sydney. Craig Kirchner

-----

Bruce Rickard was one of the most significant Australian architects of the twentieth century. A key member of the Sydney School, his practice spanned 60 years and he produced some of the most notable and recognisable houses of the period.

In Bruce Rickard: A life in architecture, architects, writers, academics and family members, including Karen McCartney and Anna Fienberg (who have both lived in Rickard houses), Babette Hayes, Philip Drew and Richard Goodwin, share their unique insights into Rickard's practice.

Featuring never-before-published photographs by Max Dupain and Bruce Rickard's hand-drawn plans, this stunningly produced book celebrates the pared-back beauty and ingenuity of Rickard's buildings.
