Rating: 3 stars
Summary: Not bad, but...
Review: I think everyone has their own idea of "small" I would like to see a book that has actual measurements of some of these rooms. I'm sure the cameras are angled to make the rooms look more spacious. On the otherhand, I like color so I enjoyed seeing how other people have used color in their small spaces so you don't feel you have to paint everything white.

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: Nice Idea/Wish Book
Review: This book's primary appeal to me is the large quantity of very nice photos for ideas of how to design for small spaces. Think of it as the equivalent of a dozen very good "home" magazines all focused on small spaces.

Unfortuantely, this is not the type of book that's easy to buy online. You need to browse. I can tell you that I spent over an hour at a bookstore and this was the one I walked away with. Most of the others were horribly technical books about how to build and use all these storage containers to hide/organize your stuff. Frankly, if you have a tiny space, you should throw away most of the stuff you don't use regularly. I'm more interterested in lighting and arrangement and color to give the illusion of more space... not organizing all my junk in neat tupperware containers.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: very inspirational & beautiful
Review: This is my favourite book (and I have a big collection as a graduate of Interior Design course).
You will definetely benefit from a variety of styles and ideas (different colour-shcemes), shown on pages of this book. Superb quality of photographs makes reading enjoyable. The author won't tell you 'how to make it' (as it's not a DIY book), but I found comments on each room layout very helpful. It inspires and develops your taste. Dylan Landis, well-done!
