This review is from: 1001 Ideas for Floors: The Ultimate Sourcebook: Flooring Solutions for Every Room (Paperback)

This was a good book for flooring photographs. Each section of various types of floors had a brief description of the floor, mainly pros and a couple of cons. The rest of the section showed photos of the floor being addresses, like mosaic or ceramic tiles.

The photographs were well done, but several pages in each section were devoted to 3" x 2" squares of a design with a one line description. It would have been helpful to know the name of the tile in the description. For example, on page 62-63, the description for (11) - grouted tiles in a spices color. No name of tile shown or the grout color used. NOT very helpful. This style of descriptions is throughout the book no matter what area of flooring is being described.

I gave the book a 3 for the great photos, but found Design Ideas for Flooring a better option because it contained more information on selecting floors and why.
