Elements Of Interior Design And Decoration Sherrill Whiton 9781445518244 Books
I've had to use this book for two semesters for a class. It is impractical in the way it is organized and doesn't offer any supplemental help for studying. Perhaps this book was not intended for school use, but if it was then I can not say that I feel its information was of any pertinence. I really disliked how the chapters are organized by a brief history and synopsis of the style followed by examples of that style and then having the ornament, furniture, etc in the back of the book that combines all the styles without necessarily noting if a chair is in one style or the other. It was once it got this section of ornament and furniture, that I felt it was disconnected from the rest of the organization of the book.I also found the writing to be lengthy and wordy, with some sentences being either a run-on sentence or a heavy use of pleonasms, and never even getting to the point in some cases. Either way this book was one of the most difficult books I have had to get through with little reward in the end.

Elements Of Interior Design And Decoration Sherrill Whiton 9781445518244 Books Reviews
This Intro into Interiors is far from stunning in its aim to delight the senses to lovely design. The B & W images cannot convey the textures, colour, finish, variences of light affecting interiors. It's Okay on history, especially arcadian in the USA.
This book organizes the chapters by country rather than style, is repetitive in its text, and enormously affected by the authors' love and fascination of practically everything. If you also love everything and appreciate reading the same ideas over and over, maybe this book would serve you well.
Very detailed and great summaries through time of all the different cultures
I LOVED GETTING THIS BOOK. IT WAS MY TEXT BOOK IN COLLEGE AND IT BROUGHT BACK SO MANY MEMORIES. I'M NOT CERTAIN WHAT HAPPENED TO MY COPY FROM COLLEGE, BUT AM GLAD TO HAVE IT BACK ON MY BOOKSHELVES.
very happy with the product thank you very much
I had this as a textbook in college. Was so glad they decided to put it out in paperback.
This thorough study of furniture through the ages, is written in such a way as to connect
the furniture to the history of the time. Makes it easy to remember the period at a glance,
when identifying a piece.
In great condition and such a helpful book for my college class
