5.0 out of 5 stars London Style, Dec 27 2003
By 
"bergeyam" (North Wales, PA United States) - See all my reviews
This review is from: London Style (Paperback)
It features beautiful full page photographs of the streets, interiors, and details of this design icon. The introduction titled Kaleidoscopic London talks about the evolution of London and how it was not planned to be a certain way. This results in many diverse sections of the city. I recommend this book to travelers, designers, and photographers. It is written in English and French. It is a great coffee table book to add to anyone's collection like many other Taschen books.

5.0 out of 5 stars Excellent showcase of London interiors, Jan 17 2002
By "napraforgo" - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: London Style (Paperback)
This book is an excellent viewbook if you want to get a taste of contemporary London interiors. It has very modern, a bit more classic and very simple interiors as well. There is very little text in the book, but the photos are all full page and very well made, high quality. A fun book to flip through and get inspiration from!

5.0 out of 5 stars well worth it..., Nov 9 2004
By nonpareil - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: London Style (Paperback)
Artsy black & white pics show London street scenes in the first (small) section. Then the large sections of excellent color photography illustrate a variety of interiors, then decorating details.

Most of the space is given to the pictorial, as befits a book on how things look; what little trilingual (English-French-German) text exists is poetically descriptive.

Styles represented tend toward the spare and eclectic - we're not talking about conspicuous consumption or Martha wannabes here - probably "urban bohemian" is the general trend. Architectural details are proudly and blatantly incorporated into the overall scheme of things... It's a work well worth inclusion in your library.

3.0 out of 5 stars Not great, not bad either, Oct 8 2009
By E. Richter - Published on Amazon.com

This review is from: London Style: Streets, Interiors, Details (Hardcover)
I guess what disappointed me most about this book (besides the size, which I expected) is that I've seen the interiors in other books before. Discovering that, I thought a) I have better, more detailed books with the same photographs and b) Taschen is usually better than this. The book has almost no descriptions and relies on tiny print in the back saying things like "detail of_______'s interior." At least in other books, their descriptions tell you about the objects- how they were acquired, etc- not just describing the obvious. All in all, yes, the pictures are nice but it's not a necessity for my library.
