This is a VERY informative book and it practically covers every material across a broad spectrum for what interior designers work with. This book covers plastic; wood; gypsum; glass and everything in between. I consider it to be a great reference book for when I want to freshen up on what I can do with a certain material. This helps me stay atop my game and think of new; creative ways to use the material. With that being say; this book is definitely not an easy read. Its very direct and too the point; which is great; but doesnt engage the reader. For reading enthusiasts; I doubt this is something you would jump to be excited to read the next chapter; let along through it. I recommend it for referencing; but not for leisurely reading0 of 0 people found the following review helpful.
