Title: Design is visual, but these photos don't make the grade
Product review: I picked up this book at the store but didn't buy it because it has a dated, depressing "feel" about it. I read the comments from the reader who didn't feel the dated photos were importand and I must disagree. I'm looking for a good home-building-ideas book that mixes good tips and home philosophy with photos of apealing rooms. By appealing, I mean rooms that offer a seamless blend of appealing architecture AND interior design ideas. Good design must have both. This book only does half the job -- it seemed to have a nice philosophical slant, but, unfortunately, the tired interior design shown in many of the room pix made me put the book back down.
