"Not Worth It!" according to rush1Not Worth It! Boring. Don't be misled by the cover photograph. This book might be of some interest to commercial architects, but it is definitely NOT a dream back for someone who fancies photos of magnificent staircases.. 1Not Worth It! Boring.

Don't be misled by the cover photograph. This book might be of some interest to commercial architects, but it is definitely NOT a dream back for someone who fancies photos of magnificent staircases.. A Customer said Book should be renamed, "Commercial Staircases". I bought this book, hoping to find pictures of residential staircases, from old and new houses. Instead, I was disappointed to find the book had only commercial staircases. While some of the staircases are quite intriguing, such as a glass staircase, the author should have named the book, "Commercial Staircases" or had a line on the cover which described the true contents of the book. so, buyer beware: buy. FatMatt said Decent Staircase book.. Lot's of commercial property staircases. Didn't seem to be the best for home research. They sent me two books too.
