First published in 2014, the book Down the long driveway, you’ll see it by Matthew Arnold and Mary Gaudin, has been reissued in a short run of limited copies.
Ten years ago Mary Gaudin and Matthew Arnold released Down the long driveway, you’ll see it — a book of Mid-Century Modern New Zealand homes described by design commentator Douglas Lloyd Jenkins as:
‟Exceptionally beautiful, full of real surprises and destined to become a much-sought-after collector’s item.”
The book has long been out of print and second-hand copies scarce, but it’s now available again in a very short and limited run. The revised edition has a new cover in gloss black, an updated design, and the photographs have a fresh colour grade.
Say the authors: “These houses aren’t new, they’re old and lived in. They can be a little dusty, slightly worn around the edges and all have what antique dealers like to call ‘patina’. But they’re perfect in the minds of the people who live in them because of what they represent, which when designed, was a better way of living.”
