3.0 out of 5 stars A Little Bitty Book, February 22, 2006
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: 101 Ideas for Upstairs: Bedrooms and Bathrooms (101 Series) (Paperback)
Just wanted everyone to know that the books in this 101 series are all very small books. They are about 6" x 6" in size. I had planned on ordering all of the series, but because I found this one used on Amazon, I decided to see if I liked it first.

The books is laid out by having the text on the left page that describes the room that is pictured on the right page. Because of the book's small size, it is difficult to see some of the details of the photos and many of the rooms cannot be seen in it's entirety. For example, in some of the bedroom photos, it shows the linens, bed, and part of the window, but you might not see the detail of the top of curtains.

The text that describes the rooms can be very helpful. There are a few sentences about "The Look", colors used, beds, linens, window, furniture and accessories. Some pages include paragraphs on walls, storage, tiling and other features about the specific room.

I did like many of the design ideas in the book, but some don't work. For example, there is a child's dinosaur room on page 114. The walls are a VERY bright orange. There is a handmade crib. The text says the crib is unique and eyecatching and was treated with a purple stain so it could stand out. I'm sorry, the crib is totally lost in that room with all the bright colors. The huge yellow and red dinosaur and orange walls were the first thing I saw when I looked at this room, I didn't even notice the features on the crib until after reading the text. That was one of the misses, but there were mostly hits.

I understand that this is a way to market a book (small, portable size), BUT I think it's small size compromises the potential of this book. Even if it was say a 6x9, that would make the features in the room easier to see for those who may be somewhat visually challenged. I would say 3.5 stars for this book.
