4.0 out of 5 stars Extremely useful., August 9, 1999
By A Customer
I'm a do-it-yourself homeowner, not a professional, but I found this book to be a great resource as I plan out my house. "Scientific" enough to let me understand why color combinations work as they do (and help me design my own schemes) while still completely clear to the lay person. If you're serious about understanding color, this is an extremely useful book.

5.0 out of 5 stars The Basics of Color Design, December 19, 1999
By Jon Evans (Brooklyn, NY) - See all my reviews
I found this book to be extremely useful in learning the principles behind choosing color schemes. As with anything, application and practice will fine tune one's abilities, but C.i.I.D. proved to be an excellent resource guide. Highly recommended!

5.0 out of 5 stars The Amazing Mr. Pile, February 7, 2006
By Valerie J. (West Yorks, UK) - See all my reviews
If you are an interior design student and you want good interior design books, then, in your search, just key in the words "John Pile". You just cannot go wrong. I have them all. Thanks, Mr. Pile. The books are well written, well produced, the paper excellent, photography excellent. Most of all, I like his style of writing, of getting his ideas across. He makes a student's life so much easier.
