This is a great book if you're looking for unique window treatments. I wanted something everyone else didn't have. It is not a how-to book but the illustrations are very detailed.

This book is really great for any windows. Mostly if you are a interior designer. It gaves you lot of good examples which curtains will good in what rooms with different types of furnitures. This book gaves you something that no one esle has. You will be the first one to have that design in your room before someone esle does

The book contains line drawings of styles for all the various elements of a window treatment as well as ideas for dealing with different kinds of windows. The book decomposes window treatments into pelmets, valences, etc., etc., etc., with pages of line drawings of styles for each element. Then, it pulls the various elements together into a total look.

I was leant this book, but I found it so helpful I bought my own. It has drawbacks. If you want something simple and/or you plan to make them yourself, this probably isn't the book for you. There are no instructions or measurements of any kind, just the drawings. But if you're working with a decorator who knows a professional, or are a decorator yourself, then this book will help your imagination run wild.

The Sketchbook has page after page of ideas for easy reference and presentation during consultations. Cuts your workload with ready- made artwork. I want her latest edition printed in 1998 or 99.

This book will not teach you how to sew curtains but it will give you loads of ideas for your window treatment.However, it is only ideal for those looking for classical designs since no modern styles are shown.

It also lacks new creative designs, I always felt that each design is familiar to me.

This is a valuable resource for any designer or person that sews. I have used sketches from the book for many projects. It provides a wonderful reference for clients to look through as well in order to get a sense of their style.

This book of only sketches is a great resource to jumpstart the creative process. I believe it is intentionally black and white so as not to distract with color and pattern. There are a wealth of ideas categorized so that you can mix and match within a particular category. It is a good inspiration piece from which you can proceed to either commission or design and create your own personal window treatment.

The first time I ever saw this book, I knew I had to order one for myself and add it to my Interior Design library. Amazing detailed sketches of high quality, unique window treatments. I have used this book countless of times, and always refer to it when designing drapery treatments. I like the fact that the drawings are in black & white. I often photocopy them, and play around with the design, cutting and pasting to come up with my own variations.
A must-have book for high-end window design. Just beautiful! I also have the Sketchbook 1 issue, which is also amazing.

Nice book. It has lots of pictures from which you can get some great ideas for window treatments. The pictures are in black and white which I feel makes it easier for one to visualize how it might look on my windows. I plan to order the additional books available soon.
