And I already have a design MA with my own firm. Rating: 5 / 5 This is an outstanding book, with plenty of pictures – great insider material on furniture and architecture.

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 Rating: 5 / 5 Well, I youre thinking between this and Piles’ History of ID then this is a much better book.

The Historian teaching the course highly recommends. So far I've only had a chance to browse through, but I like that it goes through each era highlighting the significant differences and similarities. It would be helpful if they included more pictures as illustration to match their information so you can get a better idea. There's more pictures of single furniture pieces than of a whole space- which I don't like.
