By A Customer
This review is from: Designing Interiors (Paperback)
This was a text book of mine and well worth the purchase. It should be owned by all interior designers and decorators. The authors are thourough and clear in their various chapters. They cover everything from decorating to space planning, architecture to furniture styles. A definite addition to an interior design library

This review is from: Designing Interiors (Paperback)
I hardly used this book in my class but for the extent of its use it served its purpose. The fescription of the book did not mention there being a name written in marker on the outside pages of the book do I was disappointed to see it on the book when it arrived. Other than that, it was a worthwhile purchase.
