Summary: A watershed moment for the history of interior design!
Review: For years the history of interior design has focused mainly on architectural achievements, leaving crucial topics and figures of the profession unexplored. The Encyclopedia of Interior Design, however, is extremely comprehensive, including impressive entries on early interior decorators, styles, decorative arts, and the development of individual spaces (i.e. drawing room, staircases, etc.), all supported by relevant images. Another wonderful asset is the extraoridnary bibliographies that follow each entry, provoking further study and research. Anyone, including institutions, interested in the development of interior design and its profession should acquire a copy! Demand one of your library, but the serious historian will want one for his/her own library. You won't be sorry!
