Inspirational,
By A Customer
This review is from: Staircases (Hardcover)
I was anxiously excited, whilst waiting for the arrival of this fantastic book. I had scoured many bookshops for over a year in search of it.This is a wonderfully illustrated book, providing a huge variation of staircases to admire. Eva explores what has become a mundane and everyday object, and shown how it can be an exciting and aesthetically pleasing feature of any building.

Book should be renamed, "Commercial Staircases",
By "bonilynn" - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Staircases (Hardcover)
I bought this book, hoping to find pictures of residential staircases, from old and new houses. Instead, I was disappointed to find the book had only commercial staircases. While some of the staircases are quite intriguing, such as a glass staircase, the author should have named the book, "Commercial Staircases" or had a line on the cover which described the true contents of the book. so, buyer beware: buy this book only if your interest is in the commercial application of staircases.!
