Title: How do you review Colefax & Fowler?
Product review: This is a lovely book giving in text and pictures the history of Colefax and Fowler, who EPITOMIZED the English cottage style of decorating. I most appreciate the design of their own homes, which were more modest and to my mind tasteful than their elaborate, expensive decorations of great historical houses.Strange, but many of the B&W; photographs were done without lighting, so that details are difficult to ascertain -- without the captions, would be impossible. I'd like to see this book redone properly. However, most of the rooms/design schemes probably no longer exist. So it's a wonderful and probably irreplaceable historical record.The book itself was used and listed as "good" condition. It arrived with the corners of most pages glommed together by water, which I would label "fair" condition at best. But the pages were entirely readable and viewable.
