Average Reviews:
(More customer reviews)If you are looking for a book on "cottages" - this book is not for you. Most of the homes are over 2,000 sq. ft. with some close to 3,000 sq. ft. When I think of cottages, I assume they are under 2,000 sq. ft. If you just want to see some fairly unique floors plans (many with stairs) then you might enjoy this book. Simply not what I was looking for!
