5.0 out of 5 stars Designing With Light: The Creative Touch, June 26, 2000

By	"wonka7" (Indianapolis, IN) - See all my reviews

This is one of my favorite design books. It provides a great variety of different lighting options. Some of the pictures show the same room and how different light affects it. I recommend this to anyone interested in lighting design, or interior design.

Amazon Verified Purchase

I purchased a new "used" book with this title, but authored by Wanda Jankowski, ISBN 0-86636-142-1, no print date but a copyright date of 1991. This book gives wonderful ideas for anyone who's just won the Lotto (with Powerball) and needs ideas for decorating and lighting their new multimillion-dollar mansion. It's utterly useless for those of us with more ordinary "how-do-I-light-the-bath" needs. I've tossed the book in the trash. Buyers beware.
