Review:
From drawer pulls to hinges, architectural hardware is the final accessory for your home. Designer and writer Berry shines a light on this underappreciated topic. The manufacture, history, design, and installation of these parts are covered rather quickly. The photos, while beautiful, sometimes fail to illustrate effectively the hardware. Those restoring historic homes will not find enough information to aid in matching hardware to correct periods. However, this book, more an inspirational guide than a catalog of sample hardware, is distinctive in that there is really no other material covering the topic. For larger libraries only or on demand. - Library Journal December, 2006
