'Case' for California Living

Two new-ish editions on Cali livingEast Coast transplants who have yet to fall under the L.A. spell (takes a season of warm winter days for most), these editions may sway your affections: new from Taschen and author Elizabeth A.T. Smith is a 96-page exploration of the Case Study House program, a guide through all 36 modern residences (why again didn't the cheaply-constructed architectural gems thing catch on?); next is architect Barbara Bestor's "Bohemian Modern: Living in Silver Lake," an artistic tome filled with photos, illustrations and an eye into living as a local. $9.99, taschen.com; $37.77, amazon.com
