Basically a home decorating guide, this book is important for its focus on the environmental impact of design choices, with Sobesky (Household Hints for Dummies) pragmatically discussing options to consider and the consequences of the material choices. Recommended for any size public library.

Natural Style is an easy read. The book makes sense. I'm pleased that I bought the book and I gave a copy to my two daughters. The author must be a unique person.
