Reviews

[Ann Kucera]

Interior Design with Feng Shui is a feng shui classic, drawn from interviews and lectures of Master Lin Yun. This reference has many good drawings that clarify the basic concepts of feng shui.

[Leifer]

It was just okay.

[Flapjck]

Decent informational guide

[Katharine]

This was recommended and I picked it up from the library, but found it harder to just flip through than the Western Guide... so I didn't end up looking through it yet. Maybe in the future. It definitely seems more in-depth and for when I'm more committed.

[Amanda]

A look at ancient feng shui traditions and philosophies. I found the book somewhat challenging; however, there is always something you can learn and this was no exception.

[Anne Woodman]

Interesting, but not the most practical. Nice base for knowledge of Feng Shui

[Maureen]

A real textbook style book. Includes directions for applying fixes which seem a bit much.
