Of all my miniature books, this one is the one that I always have handy. It is invaluable for the beginner and experienced miniaturist alike. The author shares hundreds of tips that are both clever and inexpensive. The photography is excellent and is especially inspirational to anyone doing a shop. Included are a grocery, fishmonger, millinery, pharmacy, bakery, hat shop, toy store, and antique shop. (I probably missed several). There are also houses and roomboxes. While this isn't a manual for particular projects, the ideas can easily be translated to your own settings. I wouldn't be without this book in my library.

This book is a chocolate bonbon of a dollhouse book. The pictures are wonderful, the descriptions are delightful. You'll be either green with envy of the owners of the featured houses, or inspired.

This was the first book on miniatures when I started out in this hobby( 1990). I still love it and look into it on a regular basis; it is full of great pics , lots of inspiration and a good read.

This is a great book for miniaturists to peruse and admire twenty- five original interiors all done by the author. All of the photos are in color and in great detail to spur lots of idea or just to enjoy looking at. Copyright 1990 is the edition I read and am reviewing. Two Edwardian Villas, A Victorian House, A Georgian Mansion, A thatched Cottage and various shops, such as a toy shop and bakery are just some of the settings she focuses on. She also has a chapter on how to decorate and furnish the miniature home.
I recommend this book as a reference for the photos and ideas for settings.
