In four distinct sections: principles of design, a room-by-room guide, material sample book, and furniture and furnishings guide, here's all the information you need to make every possible decorating decision yourself. 750 color photos and illustrations.
I have returned to this book many times for enjoyment and inspiration. I know it is dated but I think the good design in it makes it pretty timeless. If I were to ever re-visit the 70's, I would use the inspiration from this book.
