Summary: "Linoleum" is Very Disappointing
Review: I just renovated my 1949-50 ranch house's kitchen into a retro look from the date the house was built. I ordered "LINOLEUM" with great anticipation. It was totally worthless to me. My expectations may have been too high since I had not seen the book before I ordered it online. So before you order it, make sure you check it out in a bookstore. It made maybe a total of about a page worth of comments on current products. No mention of all on their durability or success in today's real world.

Summary: An informative, and unexpectedly colorful history
Review: While linoleum has become a generic term for a particular kind of floor covering, it's not the same as vinyl and has a long history as a popular residential and commercial use. Jane Powell examines the history and evolution of linoleum coverings, blending some gorgeous photography with a focus on home interior design which will please a wide audience. Any who would collect, use, or design with linoleum will find Linoleum to be a unique, remarkable, informative, and unexpectedly colorful history.
