 Many useful photos -- not just about paint colors but the overall look July 4, 2010
Deborah S. Hall (Rochester, New York United States)
Although the mission for the book may have been to showcase the F&B colors, they achieved far more. This book has full color photos on every page and is a wonderful compendium of period rooms. For me the photo of the brown and white dining room (walls painted in Dauphin, a color that looks quite different on walls than on my tiny chip) was worth the price of admission --- especially considering you can get a (barely) used hardcover copy of this book for less than $10. One of the best bargains I've ever seen, in a truly useful and gorgeous design book.

My son received this beautiful book as a Christmas present. I am hoping to get one of my own.
I love the way the photographer uses natural light. Addeo's photographs really give you a sense of how color enhances furnishings and determines the atmosphere of a room. Color has to be bold but yet subtle or it will compete. A quality paint is called for hence-Barrow & Ball. This is a great book for decorating ideas.

I bought this book as a birthday gift for my son-in-law's 40th birthday. He is an arichect in Charleston, South Carolina and has become quite intrigued with Farrow and Ball. He used some of their colors to paint his design studio. So, I bought this book "unseen" because I hoped it would be "well done" and I must say that I was not disappointed! The photography by Edward Addeo is nothing short of amazing. You can really appreciated the subtlety and depth of the Farrow and Ball paint colors. Also, an added extra bonus to this book is that one of the homes featured belongs to friends of mine and their daughter happends to be best frinds with the "birthday boy's" first cousin. So, serendipitously, I found the perfect birthday present!
