5.0 out of 5 stars A great guide to Seasons 1-3 of Trading Spaces, November 8, 2003

By A Customer

This review is from: Ultimate Episode Guide: Collector's Edition, Seasons 1 to 3 (Trading Spaces) (Hardcover)

Wonderful book. Hardcover heirloom edition. Each episode gets about 1-2 pages. There are pictures of all the cast members going through the paces of doing the show (with the notable exception of former designers Dez and Roderick), a before-and-after of every room ever done by Trading Spaces, and information on the most notorious episodes. Some of the book's features are adapted from the thumbnail Episode Guides that have appeared in the back of some of the previous Trading Spaces books. There are special spreads on key swap, designer chat, and famous reveals. Crying Pam, Brown Jessie, the celebrity shows... they're all here. Great holiday gift for the Trading Spaces fan in your life!

1.0 out of 5 stars Hugely Disappointing, January 20, 2004

This review is from: Ultimate Episode Guide: Collector's Edition, Seasons 1 to 3 (Trading Spaces) (Hardcover)

I am a big fan of the show, but this book is really bad! 1) the before/after photos for each episode are so small, you have to practically squint to see them; 2) why does Alex (first host) keep on getting dissed throughout the book - again (same is in other TS books) - move on, get over it already!; 3) colors on several after shots are way off. One episode mentions the "sage green" walls when in fact the walls are lavender; 4) lots of useless info seems to be used to fill up the space on the page. Frankly, do we really need to know that "...Gen wore her hair in lots of braids...??" Give us bigger photos of rooms instead; 5) except for the same 2 ("I hate brown", and the lady who cries off camera) there is practially NO mention of whether homeowners liked/disliked their rooms. It would have been a great addition to each episode to remind us whether homeowners were happy or not. Also, this book has some re-tread verbiage from other Trading Spaces books. This has got to be the most disappointing book in the TS series!
