Nothing in particular. The Oct. 1939 has some significance because the artist Petrucelli is pretty well known and it was published at the outbreak of WWII. The second one came with the first as part of a lot.

Le Corbusier Le Grand. I got this through interlibrary loan and damn it is the biggest book I have ever seen. The book itself is ok, too comprehensive for a coffee table book, too many copies of his letters. Nevertheless, an interesting read (more of a skim). Thanks.

The Le Grand book is fantastic. I spent over an hour browsing through it this summer in a museum shop.
