For those who want extremely intricate detail on the architectural points, this is your book. It actually doesn't "Keep It Simple", and I'm not sure whether to be annoyed or amused about it.
That said, if you've already downed a few beginning Feng Shui books yourself, this is a decent one to have in your collection, or at least, acquire to read.

This was one of very few KISS guides that I've read, so I don't know if my issues with the book are related to the particular author or something dictated by the series. There was lots of good information in the book. However, I felt like the organization was poor as it seemed that I was constantly reading "That will be covered in Chapter X" or "This is explained on page YZ." To me, it became frustrating.
I did find "The Extras," shown in red ink and with an indicating illustration, to be a good way of emphasizing or adding to the information given in the main text. The photos and examples were well-done usually.
The book was primarily focused on traditional Chinese feng shui and not the BTB/BHS form I'm more familiar with. It was interesting but it seemed there was more information than could be covered in one book.

A wonderful Feng Shui guide covering everything from where people should sit at the dining table to what water features you need in the backyard. Full of explanatory color photos. This one is a keeper!
