This review is from: The Shade Book: Roman, Cloud, Balloon, Roller Shades, Shade Toppers, and More (Paperback)
Great book for seamstresses. Not as good for sewing-challenged consumers. I would have preferred less technical info and more illustrations -- especially color photos of the different shades in finished rooms.
