### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Superb resource
*by M***Y on December 7, 2013*

This is an exceptionally good reference for anyone who is interested in interior design, is in the process of designing a house or other building to be built, or who wants to weigh the comparative merits and drawbacks of any materials they are thinking about using in a home they already have. Unlike a lot of such resources, this one is readable, both in font and in wording, and it is interspersed with illustrations and lots of color pictures so you can see what the various materials look like. It not only differentiates between types of materials but also provides information on the best applications to use them in. It is well organized, so you won't have trouble finding what you want when you want to reference it. It includes interesting examples showing how various materials were used in real buildings. Some of the greatest disasters in building construction have occurred because the wrong materials were used for a particular application. This book will give you the information you need to keep that from happening in your house or commercial building, and it will make it easier for you to make important interior design decisions as well, because you'll know up front what the tradeoffs of your various options are. Most people make decisions like these without any knowledge about how materials will perform; it's better to know up front so you'll be satisfied with the results.
