    As an Interior Design student at OSU this was an invaluable resource to have. No student or designer should be without it in their library.

    This is a tome of a book, and its contents are initially very impressive, but it STILL contains many old and out of date details which have been pulled and photocopied from projects that are rather worn and ragged looking. Also, many of the drawings are not legible due to size and lineweight quality, and so you may have to resort to pulling out a magnifying glass to decipher the information.

    In my opinion, a superior resource is “Interior Graphic Standards” by Kelsey Kruse and Maryrose McGowan. Or, at least, one should have both books but check the information in this one against the far more accurate volume by Kruse/McGowan.

    This is a required book for anyone in Interior Design for a good reason: it has about everything, including the (many kinds) of kitchen sink. What I really can’t stand about using it is the seemingly arbitrary indexing, scattered locations for information and nearly impossible to decipher graphics on some pages. I do not agree that it has much useful information on furniture styles: you’d be better off to shell out for Aronson’s “Encyclopedia of Furniture” or Miller’s “Furniture” and get right to what you need. The standard dimensions are useful, though, especially for space planning purposes. Don’t be surprised if there is information missing in some cases, or it is outright incorrect. Be sure to cross-reference and here’s another tip: make a cheat sheet for yourself for the pages you use most, tape it to the inside cover and go from there. The Index is a goose-chase. Why three stars? Because I think they can do better. It is time for a rehaul of the Silver Monster.
