I have used this book as a reference for many years. It is a great book. Anyone who is remodeling their kitchen or building a new home should read this book. Ms. Nissen has explored many areas of the field and written a terrific book.

I used the text for a space planning class. It was well organized and there were tables for referencing anthopometric data quickly. I kept it on hand while drawing floor plans for easy reference.

I used this book for a space planning class at a popular college. It is well laid out and easy to read. It has some inspiring photos and really utilizes some key points of interior design.
The book covers information on the elements of design and really delves in detail information for specific types of spaces. Such as Private spaces and bedrooms, kitchens with multiple functions and more. It also explains ergonomics and anthropometrics.
If you are into this book one that I find even better, and highly recommend is "Interiors, An Introduction" by Nielson Taylor
My only negative remark is about the build of the book itself. I bought what was referred to as "Like New" from one of the used vendors that had just launched. The spine of the book is falling apart and I'll be surprised if it makes it a year on me. So I suggest spending the extra few bucks and buying new on this one. (For reference though, I buy many used books from Amazon and this has never happened from any other sellers before.)
Ordered product February 9, 2009

The item was delivered new as advertised,in very good condition, but because of the company being in the UK, It took 10 to 12 day to receive it. The company contact me every other day to inquire about my delivery. They tried to make me feel comfortable about the delay of shipment. I would probably order from this comapny again, if give enough time to receive my ordered productin time for school assignments.
