Almost exactly what I needed
This book is very useful as far as it goes. It has a great deal of information about required clearances between different bits of furniture, which is probably 90% of what I bought it for. You can tell it was written by an architect, as furniture arrangements are mostly considered in plan, with the emphasis on function and circulation, rather than aesthetic considerations. At one point, the author submits alternative plans for the same room, and asks 'which do tou think works best, and why?' I was rather hoping that the author would tell me which was best and why.I would have liked to see how different elevations worked, with some examination of proportions, why some arrangements simply look better than others, how to make a room look bigger, lighter, etc, but maybe I need a different book for this. There was the odd omission; nothing is said about the optimum height for a bedside table, for instance, although the heights of end tables are discussed. Some very odd terminology is used for furniture, but maybe these were American. Not completely comprehensive, but certainly useful and a worthwhile buy.
