Short on "Complete", July 8 2011
By lafn Kaffir "lafn" - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: The Complete Book of Curtains, Drapes, and Blinds: Design Ideas and Basic Techniques for Window Treatments (Paperback)
This is a great book,with many great ideas. My disappointment lies in the claim of "complete". It is short on construction details, and that is a true disappointment. If it had more instruction on creating the treatments it would be a 5 star book. I do love the roman shades with differnt fabrics for each pleat, but I didn't want to buy the book for one picture.How about a second edition with more instructions?
