Hist. of Int. Des. and Furniture....

Greta price on a textbook that is needed for a college student. Book is in excellent condition!

History of Interior Design and Furniture: From Ancient Egypt to Nineteenth-Century Europe

Excellent volume. Arrived in only three days. Dust jacket slightly torn on one corner but otherwise in perfect shape. Very informational volume for anyone interested in the evolution of this art.

History of Interiors

This book is very helpful for students and professionals seeking to further knowledge on the history of architecture and interior design. Very detailed information.

A definitive must for ID Students studying the History

Well, I youre thinking between this and Piles' History of ID then this is a much better book. Each style is explained with great details, and black and white photos and sketches are really helpful, and in the middle of the book is about a dozen of color photos of interiors. I used this book a lot for my studies of the history of id. If you're looking for a book full of photos of interiors and fancy words then just don't bother buying it since you wont find them in this book

Outstanding Book -Dont miss it

This is an outstanding book, with plenty of pictures - great insider material on furniture and architecture. And I already have a design MA with my own firm.
