Real FS Consultations with Original Pictures,
By A Customer
This review is from: Feng Shui Revealed (Hardcover)
R.D.Chin is an architect and interior designer who has become a very popular teacher and consultant both in Europe and the USA. He has travelled to China and the far east to study the roots of this ancient art. He is a student of Professor Lin Yun, stands in the Buddhist tradition, and succeeds to make Feng Shui accessible to the western "scientific" mind. Chin combines the "laws" of Feng Shui with a love of people and beauty. This spirit of caring about people and their environment speaks all through his book. Chin's book is the first book with only original and beautiful photography. Other books' design was more or less advertisement art, including stock photography. It is the first well designed book, that you can put on your coffee table to show off. But most important is that Chin, instead of teaching top-down, shares his personal approach. Through the collaboration with co-author Gerald Warfield it reads like a novel and leaves an impression that you can do something positive about your home without complex calculations. Good reading for both advanced Feng Shui students as well as anybody who is interested in home improvement but couldn't be attracted by the feng shui hype. Chin's open approach inspires to make your home your comfortable, safe and happy castle.

Finally, a book that concentrates on apartments!,
By A Customer - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Feng Shui Revealed (Hardcover)
Having recently purchased my apartment, I was at a standstill with my space. After reading this book, I became determined to meet this man and get him in my home for a personal consultation. After 5 months, and my luck, I was able to get him into my home. He has turned my apartment from an asthetically difficult space into a very harmonious one. With Feng Shui you can just rearrange your present furniture to achieve this harmony. It's amazing how easy the use of Feng Shui is. This is a great book for anyone that has a small space or an apartment!

Great book, but not for feng shui beginners,
By A Customer - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Feng Shui Revealed (Hardcover)
This is a beautifully written and photographed book, but it is not a primer for feng shui novices. I have studied feng shui for many years and got some good information from this, but it really doesn't address the basics that someone just learning would need (for that, try "Move Your Stuff, Change Your Life" by Karen Rauch Carter - superb book!).The homes in "Feng Shui Revealed" are gorgeous and beautifully decorated, not exactly "How to improve your suburban tract house". For anyone who loves architecture, design, and has a good foundation in the fundamentals of feng shui, this book is a delight. 17 of 17 people found the following review helpful:

The only easy explanation of Feng Shui I've found!,
By A Customer - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Feng Shui Revealed (Hardcover)
This is the book that should be titled "feng shui, step by step." Really gives clear and useable information. Followups in the case studies offer real inspiration. If you're interested in getting the basics of feng shui and you can find this book, buy it.
