Better Living Catalog - Philip Garner patterns Fernanda MelchorPhilip Garners Better Living Catalog, originally published in 1982, takes the form of a mail order catalog featuring clever and whimsical inventions that parody consumer goods while simultaneously critiquing Americas obsession with ingenuity, efficiency, leisure, and comfort.
