As the owner of a Workroom designing and creating window- and other home decorating treatments, I was delighted to see how inspiring this book is! The illustrations are luscious and beautifully drawn with accompanying line drawings for even further clarity (a CD of the same accompanies the book) and each design is completed with a description and reference, in many cases, to the originating commercial pattern. For those new to decorating or to the industry, a glossary further enlightens and a section devoted to the Workroom with sample documentation is a valuable resource. I recently took this book with me to a get-together with colleagues who oohed and aahed and who couldn't wait to get their own copies! This book certainly must top the pile of decorating books which are out there and will be a very worth-while investment.

This book was well written. It includes information that will help the designer and also the drapery pro. Great information for the beginning designer/fabricator, but not too elementary for the seasoned professional.

A lot of thought was put in the content and also the layout of the book. It would be a great book for Window Treatments 101, if there's such a class. I am a professional drapery designer and fabricator and believe that it is a great reference book and will always remain in my professional library.

What a treat!! Thank you Jackie for doing such a great job. You can't go wrong with this book.

The Design Directory of Window Treatments is a must have! It is chock full of beautifully drawn window treatment sketches. The attention to detail is phenomenal. This should be used as a textbook in design school b/c of the sketches and all the written information about window treatments.

This book is a MUST HAVE for any one associated with window treatments in any way. I own a to-the-trade only workroom and have a VAST collection of design books and this book is unequaled by any other. I was immediately captivated by the beautiful drawings and was refreshingly inspired and challenged. Thank you Ms. Von Tobel, your book is supurb!

Book is a compilation of window treatment drawings. This book might be of great value to interior decorators as a source of reference material for their clients to decide their window treatment. For the sewer, who is looking for instuction or patterns for making these curtain designs--this is not the book. It is a design directory only; there are many drawings and some reference to contacting a pattern company but there are no directions or patterns included in this book.

Every person that reviewed this book said it is a must have book. Well, I thought I was ordering the perfect book. If you just want pictures it is perfect, but for someone that needs instructions on how to sew window treatments this is not the book. There are no directions at all. Now I have a lovely book of pictures and still don't know how to make any of the window treaments in the book. What a disappointment.

Fast and simple, my title says it all. The book is well worth the cost, with wonderful sketches and terrific organization.

Clear illustrations. I think about every type of window treatment is covered. Can help maximize sales with customers. A must have for all Drapery Professionals and Designers. No more misunderstandings between customer and designers. Can hardly wait for Jackie's NEW bedcovering book to come out next year. I will be one of the first to buy it.

I am an interior designer with a start up company. The Design Directory of Window Treatments is an absolute much- this is an invaluable tool to someone who really needs assistance with window treatments. The CD is also a great tool. I could not be happier with my purchase!

Fabulous! Most comprhensive in the window covering industry. Which does make it large and heavy. Highly recommend this book
