Bests & Worsts Reviews from Amazon

This book is made to last; meaning, the binding and spine are tight and sturdy. This means that you cannot open this book carelessly: you must open the book and ‘break it in’ with purpose and care, so that the binding and leaves last a lifetime. To do this: 1. Stand the book vertically, with the spine on a flat surface 2. Open both the front cover and back cover, so that they lie flat 3. Alternately open a few pages from the front and back, gently pressing along the seam, working your way towards the middle 4. Work the book in this way a few times, so that the spine expands and opens up. You’ll find it much easier to read after this. On another note: this book’s purpose is to TEACH you how to Identify styles and motifs that you enjoy, and is a companion on your journey to figure out what YOU enjoy-it’s an exercise in critical thinking. Yes, the photos are mostly neutral, and you may think that the photos do not have enough color. However, you should not take this as a disappointment for the book. In fact, a congratulations is in order- you succeeded in what the goal of the book was- to teach you to indentify what YOU like and dislike. This isn’t a ‘pick and choose’ catalogue- it’s a textbook. And it’s a fantastic textbook
