Non facturé is the term used by French photo labs for images not suitable for printing, because they are, for instance, over or under-exposed, not sharp, or taken by accident. However, even though these pictures were originated by accident or through error, they can have an unexpected, spontaneous quality - which might be impossible to achieve on purpose. This book and CD-ROM set contains more than 100 of such pictures, selected on their often mysterious beauty and graphic quality.

Norman Bel Geddes Designs America accompanies a landmark exhibition exploring the career of Norman Bel Geddes (1893–1958), one of the 20th century’s foremost theatrical and industrial designers. This companion volume explores Bel Geddes’s life and career in comprehensive detail through nearly 100 projects, ranging from streamlined airplanes, ships, and cars, to stage sets, appliances, and much more. Both the exhibition and the book bring together never-before-seen drawings, models, photographs, and films drawn from the Ransom Center’s Bel Geddes collection. He is perhaps best known for his Futurama display for the General Motors Highways and Horizons exhibit at the New York World’s Fair of 1939–40, which to this day remains a useful model for city planning and design. The exhibition is curated by Donald Albrecht, who contributed the book’s introduction and serves as its editor. In addition to Albrecht, who has written the introduction, twenty scholars have contributed essays.
