4.0 out of 5 stars
A diverse collection of home plans,
This review is from: 1001 All Time Best Selling Home Plans (Paperback)
If you are one of those individuals who enjoys spending time studying floor plans, this book is definitely for you. As the title says, "1001 All Time Best Selling Home Plans" contains a huge number of home designs. Each design is presented in a similar format: detailed plans of each major floor, a short paragraph describing the design, and an artist's rendition (or, in some cases, a photograph) of the home's exterior.This is a truly eclectic collection of plans, ranging from modest cottages to luxurious estates. One- and two-story designs, as well as designs for hillside properties, are represented. Another bonus is the presence of a great variety of architectural styles: Victorian, Pueblo, Greek Revival, Tudor, contemporary, and more. The only drawback to the book is the fact that often more than one design is crammed onto a single page. Thus some of the details are hard to make out. You might find yourself reaching for a magnifying glass on some designs. This negative point aside, this is an outstanding collection. It would make a great gift for someone interested in home architecture.

Save your money,
By Dusty Rohde (Arizona) - See all my reviews
This review is from: 1001 All Time Best Selling Home Plans (Paperback)
If you are looking for a book just to give you some ideas on different home designs, then this book might be useful.If however, your thinking of actually purchasing plans from this book, DON'T!!! The companies represented are not exactly full of integrity and do not fulfill their promises of what you will recieve for your money. The plans that I have seen are not nearly complete enough to be of any realistic use. The best way I could describe this whole operation is to call it a "Dairy Farm", looking for ways to entice you to spend a large amount of money only to discover you have to spend a good deal more to get what they already promised you in your original purchase. It's a very flaky set-up, and you will find their representatives less than helpful.

Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: 1001 All Time Best Selling Home Plans (Paperback)
The bulk and variety of plans in this volumnous catalog is tremendous. Most of the plans are legible, clear, and colorful. However, some that are printed 4-up on the pages made the plans "Barbie" size - impossible to read without a magnifying glass. You are reading along enjoying the homes and then suddenly come to one that is almost as small as a postage stamp! Without this one faux pas, I would have given it 5 stars.Still, a must have for those who love to peruse floor plans!
