The book is a great resource for someone interested in building or renovating to create an authentic "french look". French architectural elements are categorized and many pictures of authentic elements are provided in the book. By using the book as a guide, one can choose authentic looking or actual reclaimed elements widely available as opposed to the garish alternatives on the market that are advertised as "the french look". Kudos to the author !!!

Had to buy this book once I went to his store in Carmel, CA. It was great to hear the story behind the Jean de Luz shops that are so INCREDIBLE!

Why take the time to bother reading this book? The pictures are grainy, the writing is atrocious and the time line makes no sense. This guy is a fraud who knows more about ripping off clients than he does about French antiquities. He should consider naming his next book "How to take someone for $25,000 grand and get away with it".
Save your money, save your time and save your sanity.

Not your traditional picture type book, but many ideas on the the use of French pieces along with a historic visit of France. Just one of many unique ideas was to use a "Fireback" as a back splash instead of it's original intent. My freind has one from her mother who lived in France and loved the idea.
