Review by: MandyApgar
I had a few
problems with this. On the point of concept, it is a good idea. A nice,
fairly thick and large book featuring doll houses as art (as they
originally were) instead of toys. Thing is, it runs
about 252 pages of readable material and 62 pages of that is the actual
text. That's all, 62 bloody pages is supposed to cover 4 centuries. The
text is very dry, and an even bigger fault is how grainy the pictures
are. Very few photos are in color and the last
several pages are all captioned photos. So many are somewhat hard to
interpret, especially when the caption is going on about the colors and
detail it would've helped to have been able to see either. A few rooms
warrant several pages, with in one case the exact
picture reprinted on 2 consecutive facing pages to illustrate 2
different points. A nice idea, but sloppily done.
