This is not for you if you want Victorian homes with Victorian floor plans. It might be for you if you want modern homes (e.g. with "kitchen islands", attached multi-car garages, and 'open floor plans for the new century') that are designed (some more than others) to look Victorian-esque on the outside.

Maybe if they called it "Neo-Victorian Modern Dream Homes", people who want that would buy it and give it 4 or 5 stars.

I purchased this book with much excitement and enthusiasm only to find at least 75% of the floor plans have already been published. Not only have they already been published, but many of them in the first book with the same title. I wouldn't recommend purchasing this book unless you've never purchased a house plan book of Victorian homes.

If you love Victorian houses and architecture run, don't walk, away from this gigantic rip-off of a book. It is just a rehash of contemporary house designs disguised as Victorian houses. No photos, only cheap architects drawings. A great disappointment.

It's hard to say why, but this one just did not seem all that great - just ok.
