For a decade, in the 1960s, Clairtone Sound Corp.
captured the spirit of the times: sophisticated, cosmopolitan,
liberated. Famously, Hugh Hefner owned a
Clairtone. So did Frank Sinatra and the jazz legend
Oscar Peterson. Through the recollections of those
who knew Clairtone best,
The Art of Clairtone is a candid and in-depth look at
the skyrocketing success, and sensational collapse, of
a North American design icon.
“Many coffee-table books boast gorgeous photos, but so little to read that you
never again open them up,” noted a reviewer. “The Art of Clairtone, however,
contains both terrific visuals and a terrific story. Thank you, Ms. Munk.”
