Book Reviews of 200 Outstanding House Ideas (200 Home Ideas)

Book Review: The collection of the houses could be less, but more impressive.
Summary: 4 Stars

I purchased this book, mostly because Amazon.com shows 5 images of sample pages from this book, including my favorite House in Tamariu, Spain, below the cover image. However, these images are not exist in this edition.

The images from different book are really missrepresentation and confusing Amazon purchasers.

The book itself kind of "block" or "brick" type book, close to 3" thick. I wish book could be closer to the standard format 8 1/2"x 11", therefore longer but thinner.

Per my opinion 50% of the houses represented in this book are not extraordinary and not impressive.

The design of pages/composition and the photographs are excellent. The paper quality is very high.
