4.0 out of 5 stars
History book
This book presents very interesting historical information on the development of fireplace styles over the centuries, and the photographs included were inspiring! (If a photo had been provided for every fireplace described in detail in the text, I would have given 5 stars!) Keep in mind this book's emphasis is on the history rather than the 'how to' of fireplaces.

Very few pictures, very few ideas
This book is not worth your money. Fortunetely, I got it used. There are no good ideas and good pictures here. Don't buy it.

This review is from: Fireplace Styles (Hardcover)
I've ordered a few books on fireplaces recently because I'm building a home. And this book just doesn't display the knowledge or variety of pictures that other books do. While this book makes claim to styles from "Early, French Classical, Georgian, American Colonial, Victorian, Modernist and Contemporary," they are barely reflected in some of the photos. I expected, not better photo quality pictures (aesthetics), but a better selection of pictures (aesthetics). Form, Function, and Design? Not well depicted
