…so S T O P; don’t buy this book. It’s Junk. Anyone who’s been in the profession a while knows it because many of us received it as a Designer’s Book Club intro title in the late 80’s or early 90’s. It wasn’t worth the cost of its S&H! Ask around to people in the profession and look it over first. I received mine while having just a few years of experience in practice. Initally excited and impressed with myself having identifed a clear technical error, my feelings quickly changed to surprise and then anger as I began to realize the whole book was packed w/ errors and critical omissions. It was generally a frustratingly incompetent presentation with widely incomplete information on its proposed subjects. That the editors and publisher let this trash out, and were, I presume, making their livings with this level of incompetence was disheartening.

This book is a fiasco. As a professional in commercial space planning for many years, I picked it up based on a ‘glowing review’. I find another few good ratings here on-line. The authors mother must be writing them, because no one who actually attempted to verify the faulty and incomplete information within, could ever see this tome as worth the paper upon which it is printed.
One reviewer was accurate though; it isn’t a bad door stop.

Why search through a dozen books for the interior design information you need? Go to this book first and save time and aggravation.
BE FOREWARNED: this is NOT a fluff-filled, “decorators” coffee-table book! If you’re looking for “101 Ways to Make Slipcovers Work for You” then don’t buy this book!
But if you’re a serious, hard-core interior designer, read on: This book is jam-packed with useful information, ADA requirements, building code standards, and relevant examples. Its clear, concise format and excellent index make it easy to find what you’re looking for.
I refer to it for literally every project I work on, first as a student and now as an interior designer. I consider it to be the most valuable reference book I own.
This book is worth many times more than amazon.com is charging for it. If you’re serious about interior design, you will never regret buying this book.
