Reviews
I gauge a design book by how many pages I dog-ear or scan for an idea book -- this one clocked in at three. I found very little to differentiate the houses from any generic magazine. While it has a subtitle of "simple southern style", if the houses weren't identified by locale, you would be hard-pressed [except for the Savannah and the Louisiana houses] to pick these out as "southern" instead of standard American traditional. It's headed for the charity shop; not worth space on the bookshelves.
