Realtorreg; learns architecture/interior designBy MesiaI am a Realtorreg; and wanted to know more about the character of houses as well as be able to hold a knowledgeable conversation with other industry associates about design and furnishings. This book is a good asset for such learning. I thought the pictures would be actual photographs; yet they are hand drawn by the author. I also thought it would be easier to locate specific items/definitions; yet you have to do some "seek find"; which is still a great way to learn. Good coffee table book and continuing education piece! The shipper was great and the book was in good condition as noted.1 of 1 people found the following review helpful.
