Although other books have focused on Meem's career, Southwestern Ornamentation & Design features the details--designs for doors, corbels, window grilles, light fixtures, wrought iron stair rails--that distinguished his southwestern style of architecture. Illustrated with sketches and photographs from the Meem collection in the Zimmerman Library at the University of New Mexico, along with new photographs by Lila DeWitt, the book will prove a good visual reference for craftspeople and builders who continue to work in the Meem tradition. In Meem's extensive resource collection at Zimmerman Library, the author and assistants have been able in some cases to identify the original image or object that Meem copies or abstracted in creating a particular detail.'' -- --New Mexico Historical Review
''This book is the perfect companion to John Gaw Meem, by Bunting. This book pays great attention to the detailing that went into Meem's work (doors, gates, corbels, light fixtures, spindles, etc.), while the Bunting book pays more attention to floor plans and entire structures. And it goes without saying that those interested in adobe construction must have this book about the father of the modern adobe structure, both commercial and residential.'' -- --Book Talk
