Books and Publications

Teague's most acclaimed book, Design This Day- The Technique of Order in the Machine Age, was first published in 1940, as the first book to be written on the whole subject of industrial design, tracing the development of modern design and outlining necessary techniques to the solution of design problems. Described as a “milestone” in the industry, the book explores the evolution of civilization’s reliance on increased industrialization and explains the designer’s role. Teague (the Company) reprinted the book in 2006. Teague also wrote Land of Plenty, A Summary of Possibilities (1947), and, with John Storck, Flour for Man’s Bread, a History of Milling (1952).

Teague’s writings were also printed in Forbes, Art & Industry, New Yorker, the Seventh International Management Congress, Interiors, Business Week, Art and Decoration, Museum of Modern Art and Metropolitan Museum of Art archived texts, among many others.
