Average Customer Rating:   No secrets reveled. But an excellent reference this book is kind of like a manual without the dogma of being one. This book doesn't tell you how to do anything. It just presents facts and the such.
It has a lot of things that you should have memorized or at least have a simple knowledge of. It is great for students of both architecture and interior design because it has information useful to both.
My girlfriend is a layperson in the construction/ architecture field and she asked to borrow it. It has useful things like the differences in types of paint and other materials. Things that aren't really thought about all that much but are useful and important non the less.
I would recommend this book to add to one's reference library. Brilliant and a must have for anyone in a design career Color, Space and Style is a plethora of useful information, tips of the trade, ideas, and resources at your fingertips.
The content is easy to read and understand with well thought out categories.
Full color pages outline the design process from start to finish.
It is obvious a great deal of energy, time and effort went into its creation. A must read for anyone interested in interior design and design related fields, in fact would be an excellent tool in a teaching environment.
Bravo!
