Between Spaces: Smith Miller + Hawkinson Architecture
	New York: Princeton Architectural Press by John Hejduk and Judith Turner 176 pages, b&w and color illustrations; $40. paperbound Buy at Amazon.com for $28.00.
Most monographs on the work of architects and designers try to impress with quantity; this one concentrates on quality. Focusing on only six projects (including the recently completed glass museum in Corning, New York) from almost twenty years of productive work, the book gives the reader a profound impression of the complexity, inventiveness, and intelligence of this pair's work. The photography by Judith Turner, the introduction by the late John Hejduk, and indeed the Smith-Miller + Hawkinson designs themselves are more evocative than explanatory, more poetic than descriptive. There are some puzzling pages here, but no dull ones.
