Great book with lots of storage solutions.
Rating: 5 / 5
Lots of terrific ideas if I owned a million dollar home, but hardly applicable to simple housing with less than expansion rooms.
Rating: 2 / 5
The subtitle say’s it all. Just pictures. Examples appear to be taken from other books on elementary woodworking. Not a true book on woodworking but a picture book.

This is mainly a picture book rather than Tolpin’s usual instruction manual. While the photos are quite interesting and the book has some good ideas on space usage this is closer to a decorating book than a woodworking book.
This would be helpful as a what-if book for building a new home or a remodel. Otherwise it’s not particularly useful.
