CMPSo - So Not really sure what the point is of this book. It is a lavish publication. I would have never paid full price.. said So - So. Not really sure what the point is of this book. It is a lavish publication. I would have never paid full price.. "English Interiors Have Changed" according to James M.. Beautifully produced book which is most enjoyable. Sadly, while English interiors remain top-drawer, I thought that the ones in Derry Moore's 1986 "The Englishman's Room" exhibited more individuality, charm, personality, whimsy, warmth and eccentricity. Used copies of that book are inexpensive; check it out.. save your money mina Don't waste your money on this n ook unless you enjoy looking page after page of empty rooms. I was expecting to see rooms like depicted on the cover. Very disappointed.
