Paperback. Zustand: Very Good. From Vintage Beautiful Trailers to Luxurious Modern PalacesSince soon after the invention of the automobile, motorists have been taking their homes with them on the open road to satisfy their wanderlust while maintaining comfort in style. In Mobile Mansions, acclaimed writer/photographer Douglas Keister tells and shows the eclectic story of homes on wheels. Take a trip through this slice of automotive popular culture, from the tiny camp cars (and a mobile church ) of the '20s to the converted busses of the '60s and the classic motorhomes of the '70s and beyond. Iconic brand names like Winnebago, Travco, Airstream, and GMC are well-documented here, as are unique vision vehicles such as vintage Zeppelin house cars, Lamsteed Kampcars (mounted to Model T Fords), and the futuristic-looking Dymaxion car (a prototype designed by Buckminster Fuller). Illustrated with spectacular color photos of unique, artistic, and vintage vehicles, this book is a delightful read for RV and pop culture enthusiasts alike. Douglas Keister is also author of the popular book Going Out in Style: The Achitecture of Eternity, a fascinating look at how Americans remember those who have gone before.…

Hardback. Zustand: Very Good. Buckle up as Douglas Keister takes you for a decidedly retro ride in the world of diminutive travel trailers in Teardrops and Tiny Trailers. The demand for vintage trailers-the smaller the better-has risen dramatically in recent years, with the most in-demand trailers being teardrops, first manufactured in the 1930s and containing just indoor sleeping space and an outdoor exterior kitchen. Also profiled in the book are canned ham trailers, whose shape resembles the profile of a can of ham; small-size examples of America's most beloved vintage trailer, the Airstream; miniscule gypsy caravans in Europe; and fiberglass trailers made in Canada. Two hundred color photographs showcase these trailers' sleek exteriors, retro-styled interiors, and, in many cases, the restored classic cars that tow them. Teardrops and Tiny Trailers includes a resource section chock-full of places to locate vintage trailers, clubs to join, and rallies to attend. Photographer/writer Douglas Keister has authored thirty-six critically acclaimed books. His books on classic recreational vehicles include Ready to Roll, Silver Palaces, and Mobile Mansions. In addition, he has authored twenty-five books on architecture, including Inside the Bungalow, Storybook Style, Red Tile Style, Classic Cottages, and Cottages. Keister also writes and illustrates magazine articles and contributes photographs and essays to dozens of magazines, newspapers, books, calendars, posters, and greeting cards worldwide. He lives in Chico, California.…

Paperback. Zustand: Good. Vintage and modern-day photographs and advertisements add depth to Silver Palaces: America's Streamlined Trailers, a must-have book for this fall. It is historically significant for those who suffer from wanderlust, some fulfilled by owning and traveling with a "silver palace," or perhaps owning an older model that's been rebuilt and refurbished. With a simple, historical beginning, the streamlined trailer got its start. There were challenges in making mobile spaces for living-could anyone make a self-contained streamlined trailer complete with full hookups? After World War II, housecars and motorhomes were seen everywhere-a result of aluminum becoming available for trailers. Once these silver palaces were on the road, RVs and travel associations became popular . . . and well, the end of the highway was never in sight. Doug Keister has photographed fourteen award-winning, critically acclaimed books. His credits with Gibbs Smith, Publisher, include Stories in Stone: A Field Guide to Cemetery Symbolism and Iconography and Classic Cottages: Simple, Romantic Homes as well as Fernando's Gift (El Regalo de Fernando), a Sierra Club Book for Children. Doug lives in Chico, California.…
