Title: Very Disappointed...Misleading Title
Review: I purchased this book hoping to learn more about African-American design and cultural aesthetic. However, upon receiving the book, I quickly realized that many of the people in the book were NOT, in fact, African-American. If I wanted a book on Jamaican-Americans at Home, Cubans, or Dutchmen, I would've purchased those books (I've already purchased two great books on Cuban Interiors). I was hoping to learn more about African-American design and culture and what I received instead was a disappointing, misleadingly titled book that focused on celebrity homes that reflected nothing in the way of African-American design or culture...and a book that was not devoted to African-Americans at home, at all. A really disappointing purchase...Pass this book up quickly and instead purchase Cecil Hayes' Art of Decorative Details. I purchased this book, as well, and fortunately it offers amazing insight into African-American home design and interiors. I love it.
