Diners: People and Places reviewed by Jim Sweeney (Feb 26 2001 12:10 GMT) - Gerd Kittel's "Diners: People and Places" shows the range of diner architecture. The book has 68 color photos by Kittel. He knows how to arrange the scene so you linger over the image: sun lighting up interior or exterior metal and glass, neon glowing in twilight, a brightly lit diner looming out of a foggy night. |
