Editorial Reviews

Amazon.com Review
Too many books on feng shui, the ancient Chinese art of space arrangement, come off like so much New Age handwaving. R.D. Chin, an accomplished architect and feng shui master, presents feng shui in a new light, pointing out the common sense behind the folklore in his introductory section on ch'i (the flowing energy of every room) and the ba-gua, the octagonal guide to the traditional elements of space. The main meat of the book is in the middle section, which presents 14 of Chin's high-end feng shui consultations, from a SoHo loft to a round Frank Lloyd Wright house in the woods. The treatments of the various "problems," such as poor room placement, sharp corners, and the constricting feeling of overhead beams, are well explained in terms more architectural than geomantic, and are applicable to any home, no matter how modest. The book's final section is a set of "cookbook" feng shui problems and cures, such as mirrors to counter the negative energy of a blank wall, flowers to counter unfriendly feelings in the office, and birdbaths to welcome wildlife and give a sense of tranquility. The serene photography gives this the delicious feel of a luxurious coffee-table book.

5.0 out of 5 stars Finally, a book that concentrates on apartments!, February 20, 1999
By A Customer
Having recently purchased my apartment, I was at a standstill with my space. After reading this book, I became determined to meet this man and get him in my home for a personal consultation. After 5 months, and my luck, I was able to get him into my home. He has turned my apartment from an asthetically difficult space into a very harmonious one. With Feng Shui you can just rearrange your present furniture to achieve this harmony. It's amazing how easy the use of Feng Shui is. This is a great book for anyone that has a small space or an apartment!

4.0 out of 5 stars Great book, but not for feng shui beginners, March 26, 2002
By A Customer
This is a beautifully written and photographed book, but it is not a primer for feng shui novices. I have studied feng shui for many years and got some good information from this, but it really doesn't address the basics that someone just learning would need (for that, try "Move Your Stuff, Change Your Life" by Karen Rauch Carter - superb book!).

The homes in "Feng Shui Revealed" are gorgeous and beautifully decorated, not exactly "How to improve your suburban tract house". For anyone who loves architecture, design, and has a good foundation in the fundamentals of feng shui, this book is a delight.

5.0 out of 5 stars The only easy explanation of Feng Shui I've found!, January 26, 1999
By A Customer
This is the book that should be titled "feng shui, step by step." Really gives clear and useable information. Followups in the case studies offer real inspiration. If you're interested in getting the basics of feng shui and you can find this book, buy it.
