This books is for folks who are tired of their Victorian doll houses and want to branch out. There are chapters for all the major interior design eras in the twentieth century, along with instructions on how to make some of the items (a lot of the furnishings come from suppliers in the U.K.). Best of all are the ideas of how to expand your idea of what a doll house is and how you can create all sorts of minature worlds (eg: apartment houses, gardens, and stores). I love this book and highly recommend it. ( )
