About This Item
Tra Publishing, 2019. First Edition, First Printing. Hardcover. Fine. Miami, FL: Tra Publishing, 2019. Black hardcover with silver gilt-stamped boards. First Edition. Unpaginated with numerous b&w and color illustrations and photographic reproductions throughout celebrating several iconic villians lairs throughout modern film history (i.e. Star Wars, 007, Doctor Strangelove, Superman, Diabolik, Lethan Weapon, North by Northwest, The Incredibles, et alia): from futuristic fantasies to deathtrap-laden hives, from dwellings in space to those under the sea, pop culture and architecture join forces in these outlandish, primarily modern homes. Includes several essays in English like "Why do bad guys live in good houses?" that ponder why big-screen villains often live in architectural splendor; or ask, from a design standpoint, how th villain's lair as popularized in many of our favorite movies offers a stunning, sophisticated, envy-inducing expression of the warped drives and desires of its occupant. BOOK CONDITION: Fine; a solid, tight, clean copy showing hints of rubbing to silver gilt on cover title.
