4 out of 5 stars Eye Candy!   August 22, 2007
A. Methvin (beautiful Asheville, NC)
I disagree with the other review. I think the book has some interesting ideas about collecting and/or displaying your collection. In particular, I was delighted by the "color collections". If you like collecting lots of different little things, the color idea in the book is a good one. The pictures are great, and it is a wonderful coffee table book.

The version of Collections that I read had a diferent cover so maybe the one on Amazon(.com) is a newer/better edition, but I doubt its better. I've read a few books on collections and have yet to be satisfied by any of them. I think that collections are a difficult topic to cover because no one book can cover every collection out there, and the choice of which collections to present must be diffiult one. That said, these books should at least have collections displayed in such a way that the ideas can be applied to a wide variety of collections. However, these book seem to either present the collections in an ideosyncratic manner or in so basic a manner you could figure it out for yourself.

Recommendation:
I think the people that will enjoy this book will be the ones that happen to find their particular collection within its pages. Otherwise, every other decorating book can give you some ideas.
