Sadly, it doesn’t live up to its title; it really should be called “How to Decorate in a Cheapo Urban Style If You Live in NYC and Like to Make Stuff from Random Scrap Materials”. I wasn’t impressed.
(Granted, no book is going to be what I really want to read: “How to Make Your Home Look Really Neat Even If You Live in a Boring 1959 Ranch House With No Architectural Interest Whatsoever, You Have a Lot of Stuff and Young Children, and You Can’t Afford a Major Renovation and Refurnishing”.)
