Weber, Bruce. A House Is Not a Home. First Edition. 1996. Book is in very good condition; dust jacket is in very good minus condition—there is minor fraying to the upper front cover.
Indeed, a house is not a home, and this large and breathtakingly gorgeous book explores the difference by profiling some extraordinary individuals in their equally extraordinary residences. The subjects span the globe. They include society matrons like Brooke Astor, C.Z. Guest, and the Duchess of Devonshire alongside artists like Georgia O’Keeffe and Cy Twombly. The backdrop changes every few pages, from Tangier to Hollywood to Diana Vreeland’s “garden in hell” New York apartment. The mise-en-scène, however, remains constant. All subjects are consistent with Weber’s highly stylized, extraordinarily romantic vision of the world.
