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.

Famous quotes containing the words books and/or publications:
“The books may say that nine-month-olds crawl, say their first words, and are afraid of strangers. Your exuberantly concrete and special nine-month-old hasn’t read them. She may be walking already, not saying a word and smiling gleefully at every stranger she sees. . . . You can support her best by helping her learn what she’s trying to learn, not what the books say a typical child ought to be learning.”
—Amy Laura Dombro (20th century)
“Dr. Calder [a Unitarian minister] said of Dr. [Samuel] Johnson on the publications of Boswell and Mrs. Piozzi, that he was like Actaeon, torn to pieces by his own pack.”
—Horace Walpole (1717–1797)
