Do NOT buy this as an ebook. The font is small and the pictures are often hard to see on a small screen. I have a feeling that this is stunning as a coffee-table book though, of course, I can't judge it that way at the moment.Was this book good? It was interesting. I really enjoyed voyeur-ing into peoples Christmas homes. And these homes were beautiful. Just perfectly prepped for the holidays.
What are the other reasons for only three stars? There are a lot of adjectives in this book. A lot. A LOT. And I get that a design book needs adjectives but it feels like someone sat down with a thesaurus and then regurgitated it. Also, not all of the pics are Christmas-y. There's a small percentage that are just home pictures. Is that to show that not every inch of a designer's home is decorated? I'm just not sure.
This book comes out September 28
Three and a half stars
Dear Meandering:
ReplyDeleteThank you for viewing the book. It was informative to read your comments.
The Book is meant to be viewed in hard copy. I know what you are taking about when viewing it off a computer screen--it just loses its impact.
Yes, it is really lovely to actually see the photographs as they were meant to be seen.
It is amazing that you read the text. It is probably a first!
What can I say about all the ADJECTIVES? Well, we didn't get out a thesaurus and vomit up all the words we know. These words are the way we speak everyday. Really. We just know a lot of words.
I found your blog when I was searching for my own lost blog! Glad to meet you. Feel free to friend me on FB and connect on LI.
