Summary: A favorite for an Anglophile style fan
Comment: This book has a chatty, at times even gossipy tone, that makes it read like you're listening to a very knowledgeable friend.
What I find amusing, and enlightening, in the photographs is how English homes can be so unlike an American's idea of "rich people's decorating." The wallpaper can be faded and peeling, the slipcovers faded and shrunken, the furniture needs refinishing, the rugs are unravelling, and things don't always match well. An "accidental" style, rather. But it's elegant and comfortable in ways that rooms with brand-new "matchy-matchy" things never are. And the architecture, no matter how grand or modest the house, is always classy.
The English just have a way with style, which any Anglophile will recognize and love in this book.
Rating: 3
Summary: misleading
Comment: The content of this book is great, but the size of the book is ridiculous. When they say a little style book, they mean literally a little book. Yes, the book has style, but who want to look at a 4" x 4" book on style or decorating? Too much money for such a book.
Rating: 5
Summary: Pls have the publisher reprint this book asap.
Comment: An excellent guide to the english country style tradition. It stands out in a field that is already crowded with good works, and at this point is to be considerer a classic.
