Customer Reviews

lovely photographs and lots of them

I took a chance and ordered a used copy of this book, and I am delighted with it. It has color photos on just about every page. The book is more photos than text; all the photos are color. Intro is 9 pages. There are four 90-page chapters entitled: French Country, Italian Country, English Country, American Country. At the back are sources 3 pages, and an index 5 pages. Some photos are of exteriors and/or gardens, but most are interiors of rooms. I am fond of chintz fabrics, wallpapers, English style, traditional style, gardening style, romantic style, country style-----and as I had hoped, quite a few of the photos in this book are pleasing to me.
