This Second Edition is a significant revision, introducing full color throughout, with over 175 new illustrations and photographs, along with new sidebars and a comprehensive glossary.  Coverage of residential spaces, including additional illustrations of furniture types such as beds and storage and content on the American interpretation of English styles, has also been significantly expanded.
