Profusely illustrated volume by 19th-century pioneer of professional art criticism offers valuable information on how to furnish a home tastefully and affordably. Charming; lucidly written text covers everything from firescreens; curtained archways; and Grandmothers cupboard to Tyrolian tables and chairs; a Dutch bedstead; and a French bureau with fine brass mounts.

Carlis photography is perfection; and the photos she has chosen to include in this book are spectacular. The mid-shake dog is funny; scary; and incredibly fascinating; and Carli captures all of that and more. This is not a coffee table book you look at once and never again. I am constantly going back to it; and everyone who has come through my door has been sucked in; cover to cover. Weve giggled; oohd; and aahd together -- theres something to grab everyones attention. For dogs; shaking is a way to release tension (as well as shed water); and these dog shake photos are a great way for us humans to de-stress -- theres no way you can get through this book without laughing out loud at least once! And as an added bonus; Carli is a strong advocate for animal rescue; for adopting; and for supporting differently-abled animals. Many of her "models" have great back-stories; and are worth checking out. You definitely will not regret this purchase; and hopefully our support of Carli will bring us many more wonderful photos in the future!1 of 1 people found the following review helpful. Best picture book ever!!By Angie BriggsThis book will keep you smiling all the way through. The dogs look like they are from another world in some of the photos and there is nothing like it! The photographer Carli Davidson is amazing and awesome and she loves her work. She will only photograph animals who are enjoying themselves. If they get stressed; she wont take it any further. I know this from experience. My bulldog Jake did great for the photo shoot but when we went back for some promotional videos; the lights and additional people were just too scary for him and she and her bestie Amanda made sure to love on him and make him feel special even though he wasnt helping out with the video. (His sister Jazmine was a ham; however)I highly recommend this book as a gift for any dog lover or anyone who is hard to buy for. It is a great size; the pages are high quality paper that would be very difficult to tear and there is page after page of adorable cuteness. To add icing to the cake; several of the dogs in this book are rescued!7 of 7 people found the following review helpful. Love Love Love!By Katrina FI was lucky enough to receive Shake a day earlier; and I couldnt be happier! She does a great job at capturing the pups in such a great shake. I love how Carli listed all the dogs and their names at the end as well. Definitely a good book to add to anyones collection.
