Rating: Summary: Interior Design - Stanley Abercrombie Review: "Following the pattern of her 'Architects on Architects' Susan Gray now offers two dozen contemporary designers describing their mentors and role models. The brief profiles accompany photographs of interiors by both the subjects and their biographers. A few of the latter have unfortunately seized the opportunity to write more about themselves, but most share a rare and warm appreciation for their subject." Interior Design - Stanley Abercrombie
Rating: Summary: Mitchell Owens recommends "Designers on Designers" Review: "Great design doesn't exist in a vacuum, and Designers on Designers proves that behind every bright idea is a startling inspiration. Susan Gray lets the world's top designers tell their own stories about who and what influenced their work. The result is funny and poignant, wry and informed. And truly inspired". - Mitchell Owens, ELLE Decor
Rating: Summary: Albert Hadley recommends "Designers on Designers!" Review: "Susan Gray is to be congratulated and applauded for bringing forth this stellar cast for our own erudite pleasure. In this beautiful and well documented book...each designer's story holds ones attention, and without exception, is in fact a source of revelation and delight as we are made privy to the aesthetic influences in the lives of these remarkable, creative, talented and accomplished artists." --Albert Hadley

Rating: Summary: Michael Graves recommends "Designers on Designers"! Review: "The personal inspiration we gain from others in our field makes for fascinating and thought-provoking reading. I love seeing what my colleagues have learned from others; my own experience has been expanded by their insights." -- Michael Graves, Architect and Product DesignerAlso recommended: 'Architects on Architects' and 'Writers on Directors' both also by Susan Gray
Rating: Summary: Another success Review: I have come to watch with eager anticipation for each of Ms. Gray's works, as they consistently include dazzling photography and sophisticated commentary on interesting subjects. This book is in keeping with her others on architects and directors. Absorbing, fascinating, well-written, beautifully crafted. I'm sure it would make a welcome holiday gift.

Rating: Summary: Such rubbish Review: I have read a lot of design books and this is without a doubt among the worst. Such a load of miserably written drivel. I suspect the designers being written about would be mortified by this maudlin, idiotic praise of their work.
