CUSTOMER REVIEWS:

Good Book For School -
I purchased this book as a requirement for an Interior Design History class at Parsons School of Design. 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.

History of Interior Design and Furniture: From Ancient Egypt to Nineteenth-Century Europe -
Excellent volume. Arrived in only three days. Dust jacket slightly torn on one corner but otherwise in perfect shape. Very informational volume for anyone interested in the evolution of this art.

History of Interiors -
This book is very helpful for students and professionals seeking to further knowledge on the history of architecture and interior design. Very detailed information.

A definitive must for ID Students studying the History -
Well, I youre thinking between this and Piles' History of ID then this is a much better book. 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

Outstanding Book -Dont miss it -
This is an outstanding book, with plenty of pictures - great insider material on furniture and architecture. And I already have a design MA with my own firm.
