In Morris Lapidus: An Architecture of Joy (Rizzoli, $65) , Deborah Desilets captures more than 50 years of exuberant and original architecture. Lapidus enthusiastically embraced modernism’s formal freedom and sensuality while rejecting its more rigid principles, producing a unique style that seamlessly blends baroque fantasia with modernism’s clean lines and flowing spaces. In 2000 Lapidus was honored by the Cooper-Hewitt as an "American Original," an award created especially for him. He invented the postwar resort hotel with the Fontainebleau and the Eden Roc in Miami Beach, and his iconic buildings in New York, Miami Beach, the Caribbean, and beyond, prove that "too much is never enough." 7:30pm

Paul David Pope’s The Deeds of My Fathers (Phillip Turner Book, $24.95) is a captivating narrative that chronicles the emergence in America of an Italian immigrant and his son whose deeds would make them among the most prominent practitioners of power and influence in this country. Based on previously untapped sources, this book presents an archetypal story of the American century, told candidly by a consummate insider who lets all the chips–the light & the dark–fall where they may. 8pm
