Wish I had bought the book so I could actually enjoy reading it. Instead you have to blow up photos then X out to read text. I thought it would be like online magazines / catalogs.0 of 0 people found the following review helpful. Five StarsBy Janice StraneWONDERFUL!0 of 0 people found the following review helpful. Inside the not so big house by SusankaBy Don M.Just the thing for retirees who dont like to vacuum! Well written by one who has done that and nice use of photography it explain the words.Do read the reviews before buying. If you like ultra-modern or Scandanavian styles; this book is probably not for you; as it leans more toward the cottage era. And that; it does really well. The author knows whereof she speaks; as she has done that with almost all of the features and configurations of which she writes.
