Journal of Interior Design
"Frank Ching's technical dexterity has now reached legendary artistic levels... This reference book is a treasure to be valued for the wealth of information it provides. As you read, each page becomes more and more enlightening."
Interiors
"Ching's clear definitions and over 3,000 accompanying line drawings make this book a valuable, graphically striking resource."
Contract Design
"The premise behind the book is straightforward and logical that designers will immediately ask themselves why they didn't write and illustrate it themselves."

Just fabulous!
I bought this for my sister who is studying architecture, and she's over the moon with it. I wanted to give her a bit of inspiration, and a reference book and this has done it. Great job by the author, and in exquisite detail too.
