This book has some lovely Victorian interior photos and helpful descriptions of decor, including info on lighting and radiators that are definitely helpful for decorating my dollhouse.

But then there's this douchbaggery:

"Men of lesser means escaped the tyranny of the parlour..."

WTF?!? Projecting your patriarchal tyranny onto women doesn't magically transfer it, asshole.

More nonsense.
