I just happened to be walking in my local mall and got a glimpse of the cover and was sold from then on. I am probably driving my family crazy but I am now inspired to redecorate my kitchen to resemble an african market. Thanks!!!!!!

It was a good book and I saw a lot of Ideas that I plan to use, but there were times that I thought they could have given more information about the masks,vases and other artifacts. Things like what the historical use was and where they came from But all in all I enjoyed it.

The inspiration generated by this book is truly infectious. After reading it and viewing the HGTV episode, I wanted to throw out all of my old furnishings and start anew with the spirit of Africa. The authors have put a lot of themselves into this work of art, obviously, as it seems to be written with such style and love of African art and the many things that go along with it. Additionally, the credits they list permit one to actually find the pieces that are mentioned in the text. As a result, I have been able to locate and purchase an authentic,new piece of kente cloth which I have been searching for, for some time. Fantastic work! Thank you.
