This is a great coffee table book and the photos are interesting. However, it is filled mostly with American houses that have tried to look European rather than the real thing, and there is absolutely nothing to teach the reader about what distinguishes one period from another. I'm glad I bought it, but it missed an opportunity to be much more valuable.

If you can't get to Paris, this book will satisfy a little of that urge. Beautiful photographs of lush homes furnished and accessorized as only Parisions do. Especially intriguing is the window fabric on the cover and in the inside pages. Exactly what is it, and how was it made? So very ooh-la-la!

Amazing text, design insights, and photographs. Should be on everyone's shopping list and coffee table!!!!!!!!!!!!! I stocked up so I could have enough on hand for the Holidays.

Just by looking at the pictures, you are with Penny in Paris, seating outside with a "cafe" and a "croissant"
It is a wonderful book.
Thank you Penny, for taking the time and the research about our Paris.

After over a month of waiting the book never arrived. The shipper even said that they sent a second copy. It too was never received. I finally got a credit to my account but I really wanted the book.
