 A Beginner's Education November 28, 2004

I have recently bought an old house that needs lots of work. I am new to home improvement and found this book really helpful. It is well-written and the practical approach makes it very accessible. Just flicking through the pages gives you loads of ideas and inspiration. There are technical drawings for a behind-the-scenes, how-to view. The photos are accompanied by clear (and occasionally witty) captions. There's also a useful glossary. I have filled three recessed nooks with shelves and am now renovating my staircase with the help of this book.
Best of its Kind - Informative and Fun to Read July 19, 2004

I loved this book. Much more than a how-to book, so well written that I would have read it just for pleasure, even if I hadn't needed the detailed and clear practical instruction. Very historically informative. Reminds me of some of the best cookbooks: the reading of it is as much fun as making the recipes.

This is the perfect book for someone in the construction phase of their dream home. There are so many pictures providing a pletora of innovative ideas. I really liked the construction pictures that depict how a few separate pieces of molding can create a spectacular design! I'm taking the whole book to my trim guy so he can have a 'visual' of exactly what I want. I've purchased a lot of books as a first time owner/builder, and I have to say, this was certainly one of the best!
Helpful to a new realty agent. February 23, 2006

I have found this book to be very helpful when I see architectural features in a house with which I am unfamiliar. When I am done with it, I share it with other new agents.
The descriptions used by the author have helped us write descriptions of our listings on the Multiple Listing Service. We realty agents see varieties of architecture that must be described briefly to help sell the homes. The book provides some descriptive terms that help us beginners.
I would give it more stars if possible February 8, 2008

I am a custom carpenter in Metro Detroit, and have a large library of carpentry / trimwork detail books. I mostly use these books for discovering my customer's style and for generating ideas for their projects. This book is by far one of my 2 most referenced books in my library. It makes nearly every trip I make to a new customer's home. It contains great photographs of very nice architectual details. I highly recommend it, and will soon be buying my second, and possibly third, copy.
