Summary: Great picture guide for window treatment styles
Review: THE ENCYCLOPEDIA OF WINDOW FASHIONS: 1000 DECORATING IDEAS FOR WINDOWS, BEDDING AND ACCESSORIES is a wonderful picture reference guide for designers when planning a room. It is an easy way to locate the perfect window treatment you are searching for to complete a room and to show the customer an idea of the finished product. It has many types of styles in each category of fabric window treatment and includes many kinds of pillows, bed coverings, etc.. This book includes more styles than I have seen anywhere in any one book. It is wonderful if you are looking for drawings of many, many, many kinds of window treatments.

Summary: Not impressed
Review: This book was very basic. It is mostly drawings of different drapery styles with a few drawings of Roman Shades and Balloon Shades. I was looking for something that would give me ideas as to where certain window treatments might look best (what type of shade for each room, types of fabric, etc....)

Summary: Not what I expected
Review: This was too much money to pay for a book of drawings. I expected photos of rooms.

Summary: Very disappointing
Review: You will be surprised how amazing the patterns of the curtains that they have in the book.

But initially it is a great dissapointment to me cause the book doesn't teaches me the way on how to start and how the diagram of the curtain looks like.

I would rather recommend this book to them who really have the advance knowledge of making curtains and also for them who wanted to see more designs in a curtains.
