5.0 out of 5 stars Excellent advice and projects for beginers and advanced, 27 Jul 2001
I found this book a goldmine of information from the basics of choosing a style or period of house and what type, depending on costs. It has helped enormously in the decision of which house to choose. There is lots of advice and projects from decorating to making items. The author has managed to cover a vast amout of items including shops and childrens houses as well as the miniaturists period homes. Excelllent bibliography with lots of reference areas to follow up. Overall it is very readable and well illustrated and an ideal book to dip into for both the begginer as well as the more experienced miniaturist.
