MiM Mini Guides Nos 3 and 5.
Posted in Architecture, Art Deco at 12:00 on 20 March 2025
The MiM mini guides are produced by Modernism in Metroland and feature the modernist buildings of a particular location or architect. They are A5 size and include text and colour images of the guides’ buildings.
Knowing my interest in the Art Deco and Modernist styles my elder son and his architect wife gave me the undernoted two mini guides as a birthday present last year. Both were compiled by Joshua Abbott.
MiM Mini Guide No. 3. Speculative Suburban Houses 1928-38.
MiM Mini Guide No. 5. Interwar Industrial Architecture:-
It is not so much the text of these kinds of books (or mini books if you prefer) as the illustrations which are the main aspect.
As the Metroland denomination implies the contents are all buildings from the London area.
Nevertheless they are a delight to anyone with a passion for the architeture of the inter-war years.
