Average Reviews:
(More customer reviews)The title defines the scope of this book. It is a list of home products (cabinets, appliances, hardware, etc.) which support universal design. It also contains a number of plans which demonstrate UD (Universal Design).
The list of products shows which UD aspects each product features. The list of products is pretty good, but had several lapses that I noticed right away.
The plans tend to be on the high end. The plans are good but not extremely creative. They are not very diverse in style either.
Since the book is not expensive it is probably worth the investment for the useful information in it. Don't look for many idea photos--they aren't here. Although the author has featured numerous, nice photos of one very high end showpiece UD house, it is not the kind of house most of us will ever come close to building.
If you have made the decision to go the UD direction, this book could help with the details.
