Review: Awesome Book - Doll house Building, what an interesting book. It shows you how, what you need, the materials to use, it filled with great ideas. My older kids have been reading it, too. They are interested. What a great hobby. It's a beautiful book, filled with so much knowledge on woodworking, with great pictures. Easy to read and understand. My kids are excited about learning these things. And quite frankly, so am I. Review: Beautiful + Informative - I was so excited to get this book, I can already tell it’s going to be very helpful and informative.

A very nice printed book
There's something nice with having an actual book to read on the couch, away from your digital screens. If you like miniature stuff then you might like this book. It surely gives inspiration to making things of your own.

LOTS of pictures, lots of ideas, some how-to's
I bought this book because it had a chapter on making/designing miniature shops/stores. There are some how-to sections interspersed throughout the book. While I wasn't specifically looking for that, there is one demonstration about upholstering miniature furniture that gave me some good hints worth the cost of the book. There is a great variety of styles shown. The one drawback (for me) is that there aren't many close-up photos, and the quality of the photos varies considerably. I'm guessing that they were submitted by the artists who created the miniatures, rather than professional photographers.

Modern and classical examples
It's a very nice book with (to my surprise) lots of modern miniatures. Beautiful photos and the accompanying texts are good to read and understand. The non-regular buildings were a surprise to.
