 Pretty Good Book |
| Review Date: January 30, 2009 |
| Reviewer: Donna R. Volpone, Rochester, N.Y. |
| This book was pretty good and very reasonable, price-wise. I was looking for ideas to use to decorate my mantle and I did get them from this. |

| Reviewer: L. Rumley, Little Rock, AR USA |
| This is a good book for pictures of fireplaces, but I needed more information on what I now know are zero clearance fireplaces...and whether a large screen television can ever be placed above a zero clearance fireplace--info like that. So the book wasn't that great for my specific purposes. |
Better than expected!

| This book was everything I was hoping for & more! So much practical information and ideas. This book had ideas no matter where your fireplace is located or what your style is. |
Not a single idea for me

Like another reviewer said, The Fireplace Design Sourcebook by Melissa Cardona is a much better choice. Why he gave this book 5 stars anyway I can't figure out. I have over 20 postits marking pages in the other book and not a single one in this book. Not a single idea for the stone, mantle, or anything worth using. Way too much filler writing that didn't apply to anything, describing styles and types that are never applied in real world designs.
"The Inglenook is a charmingly old-fashioned idea and the word itself is equally quaint. Ingle is a British word for..." Well, you get the idea.
I can see the point that this book has a good decorating focus, but I still don't think it is a great book even for that and if you are just looking for fireplace ideas I think you will find this lacking. |
Excellent Book

| The Better Homes & Gardens book "Fireplace Decorating & Planning Ideas" is an excellent book. We are building a new home, and were looking for fireplace designs for ideas. There is also a lot of "how to" information, in which we weren't particularly interesed, but the book gave us some good ideas. An even better book, for our application, which we ordered at the same time, is a Schiffer Book by Melissa Cardona entitled "The Fireplace Design Sourcebook" It has more photographs, and an enormous variety of fireplace designs to peruse. |
