I purchased this book to give me ideas on which type of pattern/material I should use to reupholster a Victorian settee frame I recently bought. After looking through the breathtaking photos on these glossy pages, I know exactly which material to go with. And of course, from viewing this book I have a desire to purchase other victorian pieces to accompany the settee. It's a step back in time that must be seen.

This is a wonderful book. Also, this book was like brand new although it is used. Just wish there were more pages.

If you are interested in Victorian style, especially that of the United States,this book is a good start. The book is not very large, it is rather thin, but easy to carry around if considering ideas for your own home or apartment. The author gives you precise and interesting backgrounds on many rooms of the Victorian style and how they were used. You will also enjoy some of the exterior home photos of classic Victorian houses from California and other states. This book is also very well priced for all the valuable information you get.

This is a great book with wonderful pictures and documentation of the victorian era. It has helped me learn more about my 107 year old Victorian Queen Anne home. A great asset in getting ideas for decorating.
