DESCRIPTION:
Alexandra said like really really pretty. The cover is gorgeous, like really really pretty. The book is fine; the difference with most home decor books is that this one doesn't only show pictures of nicely decorated dwellings, but it also works as a guide to choose your house and to decide which style suits you best and how to accomplish it. The pictures are nice and bright and the size is fine. It is not like those huge coffee table books but it is big enough to display it in your living room. The reason I gave it four stars is because it has a design problem that can't be overlooked in a book about design and aesthetics. Because of a poorly performed diagr. Mostly home tours with tips thrown in. stargirl I love Apartment Therapy the website. This is my first book of Maxwell's and while I love the empire he's built I think I misunderstood the purpose of this book. I don't usually like when stylistic choices are coined a term (like "grunge" or "modern") in a book that's about finding personal style. Talk about boxing yourself in! I felt like while there are good tips the majority is profiling homes of other people. And that the pointers are specific to these people's homes. I can read the site for that. I enjoy when an image illustrates a point but I wasn't expecting a book of home tours. Maybe that's on me but either . "Publishing errors" according to RMK. I was disappointed to find some graphic design errors in the layout of this book that leave a few paragraphs cut off and unreadable. I follow AT religiously and was surprised the publishing house didn't catch these. Otherwise, it's a helpful read. I would recommend Maxwell's first book even more highly. Although it's just a paperback in black and white, the advice is solid and I've gone back to it time and time again through the years.
