I read up to page 42. Then the book jumps back to page 27 goes to 42 again and then skips to 59. I wish I could say that I noticed immediately, but I merely got a sense of deja vu for a number of pages. I suppose if it were a really amazing book, I would've noticed immediately that it was repeating but I didn't.

There were a lot of great examples in this book, not any real DIY projects, but rooms that looked like they were used and therefore pretty successful. Numerous quality photographs and clear text. A great reference if you're stuck for ideas.

Book Summary:

Find yourself a really expensive architect and make sure you have scads of money so that he can build you shelves like THESE.

The end.
