"A deep-dive into the architectural style that served as an
enviable yet attainable postwar emblem of a life lived more
leisurely....Rereleased just in time for summer reading, A-frame
not only details the origins of the style but also includes
building plans and exhaustively researched information about the
top industry players in different regions during the A-frame's
1950s-60s-era heyday."
