Brilliant ideas for displaying Art and objects

This book is clear, creative, and beautiful. It is a wonderfully written how-to book that makes hanging collections seem exciting rather than intimidating. I love the format, which gives "rules" for display closely followed by a section entitled "breaking the rules and getting away with it". The author gives great tips on color, frame types, and the effect of various environments on artwork. I first got this book at the local library, and 2 days later decided I needed to own a copy.
