The MAS bookstore Urban Center Books (UCB) is described in the recent article Holiday Book Report on Design Arts Daily (DART), as being “packed to the rafters with books and magazines on architecture, urbanism, landscape architecture, interior design and graphic design.”, and “The selection is breathtaking.” Now, with the holiday season upon is, there is no better time to visit UCB.

“In addition to books on architecture and urbanism are many items that would make unusual gifts. Among the DVDs of design-centric films is Jacques Tati’s Play Time,… books on the subject of design for the movies, including The Wrong House, a study of Alfred Hitchcock’s oppressive interiors by Steven Jacobs, …[and] a choice selection of books on New York City history… complemented by an appealing array of guide books, and photography books that celebrate urbanism and a sense of place.”
