Much like the history of art, the history of interior design encompasses numerous styles, movements and the international political and social developments that have informed or challenged its evolution. This lavishly illustrated interior design history will be of interest to anyone interested not only in interior design, but also antiques, furniture design, textiles, decorative objects and the general evolution of the space where we work and live.

• This second edition contains 150 new photos, 35 new line drawings, 32 more pages, making it more lavish than the first
• A companion web site filled with even more images is also new to this edition and offers great value
• Presents interior design within the context of sociology, politics, economics, geography and other arts

Summary: A History of Interior Design
Comment: I really do enjoy the book except that on some important topics in the class I am taking with this book there is little information. Nonetheless on the topics it greatly expands upon the book shows impressive and accurate knowledge. The pictures also aid in examples and are for the msot part the best picture examples that any book could offer.

Summary: The Wonderful Mr. Pile
Comment: History of Interior Design is great. I study interior design and, without John Pile's books, this wide-ranging subject would have been far more difficult. Studying the subject "history of interior design" would have been such a struggle for me without having this book at my side. I just couldn't find all I needed on the internet. Apart from the high quality paper and excellent images, John Pile has a writing style that gets his point across very clearly. That makes for rapid reading and faster absorption of information.
