Many useful photos -- not just about paint colors but the overall lookBy TessaAlthough the mission for the book may have been to showcase the FB colors; they achieved far more. This book has full color photos on every page and is a wonderful compendium of period rooms. For me the photo of the brown and white dining room (walls painted in Dauphin; a color that looks quite different on walls than on my tiny chip) was worth the price of admission --- especially considering you can get a (barely) used hardcover copy of this book for less than $10. One of the best bargains Ive ever seen; in a truly useful and gorgeous design book.2 of 2 people found the following review helpful. Great guide for Professional and Layman AlikeBy Jam-iFantastic photography and informative text; an unbeatable combination. As a professional; I need to know paints inside and out - and FB make low VOC; highest quality paint in formulations that most non-Europeans cant figure out. This books provides a useful ("this finish for this purpose" section) that I found extremely helpful. Each room has the colors used clearly noted - a great help to in visualizing the way a paint combination can look. Must have book for anyone who wants to use high quality paints and understand more about color. This is not just a "coffee table" picture book - but it could be -- its a marvelous reference tool too.0 of 0 people found the following review helpful. Beautiful book - material and style rather datedBy Susan HillThe book is definately one for your decorating library. The quality of the pictures and explanation of colors is good. The book also demonstrates the differences caused by the angles and placement of paint in a given room and how the color can change according to light and shade. The book; for the most part; is very traditional and is heavy on US decorating trends within the 2007 time-period. However; since the book was published in 2007 it does not reflect current trends in style and color. I should have realized this and checked the date of the book before purchasing. Styles and trends have changed since 2007 and new wonderful FB colors have been introduced. Having said this; the book is certainly one for reference and contains lots of lovely ideas and information. I purchased the book in excellent used condition and have no regrets.
