Also someone is selling repos of it--although it was not "written before 1923". This book is about concepts not pictures.

The two sort of remind me of each other. I found my copy years ago at a reminder book store on E.86th St. in NYC (Marlboro?). Some of the best advise ever for those without a lot of money who want a nice house.

Arranged in such an original manner as to entertain the Duchess of Alba or any stray Merry Prankster that turns up unannounced. I call this style Shipwreck Baroque, and each room has to tell a story or at least inspire one. It's not about the money one has spent acquiring the objects in a house but the adventures of the treasure hunt which naturally come with scars and dents. Every house needs laugh lines!Lilyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05650088526069120311noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6117194181116669144.post-80341419107370139792011-10-31T11:01:55.228-07:002011-10-31T11:01:55.228-07:00I ordered this book from Amazon UK and it will be ...I ordered this book from Amazon UK and it will be delivered some time in December, allegedly.
