«Entrepreneurial Vernacular is certainly the best and most comprehensive book I have read about the design and development of the modern, large-scale housing subdivision.
—Thomas C. Hubka, Urban History»
«Loeb's useful concept of entrepreneurial vernacular may encourage scholars to pay more attention to the builders and tradesmen whose activities were important in themselves and also constitute an important arena in which the histories of business, labor, and cities intersect.
—Richard Harris, Journal of American History»
«Loeb's book helps us understand the roots of a significant trend in American housing after World War II . . . It is well organized and well written.
