Beautiful photos from the series. I really enjoyed the interviews with the long standing cast members Norm, Tom, and Richard.

I've always liked the tv show and this book does not disappoint. Lots of different styles are shown. The photos are excellent and the book is just the right length.

A lovely coffee table book. I have said that I would watch a marathon of the last episode in each season of the show where we are walked through the home before and after the renovations and that is essentially what this book is.
