Average Reviews:
(More customer reviews)This book is really the same as Tudor Houses: Portfolio of Floor Plans, except for subtitle and ISBN. The book is light reading, as the text amounts to glorified captions accompanying mainly illustrations and 8 photographs. The first 15 pages are color illustrations and text overviews of structure, materials, doors & windows and chimneys. The next 16 pages are decorating ideas, featuring one color photo for each of 8 different typical rooms, including 2 color illustrations for each room space, showing alternate decorating themes, one often flamboyant. The repetition of offbeat decorating sends the message that anything goes in a Tudor house and you call it eclectic. Most of the rest of the 208 pages are text and duotone illustrations, showing floor plans, exterior views and interior views. Although there is some overlap in square footage, the descriptive plans are divided in Cottages, Villas and Manors (small, medium, large), as chapters. Plans featured are 30 cottages, ranging from 1,176 to 2878 sq. ft., averaging 2,290; 36 villas, range 1,943-3,712, avg. 3,145; and 15 manors, range 2,617-7,282, avg. 4358. The plans are virtually in ascending order by square-footage size. The book concludes with 10 pages of how-to resources on reading floor plans, choosing a contractor, ordering plans and Index to Plans. Ordering forms are included on the final pages.
