MOST books, written or compiled to afford suggestions to the prospective home builder, fall short of their purpose. "The Country Life Book of Building and Decorating" is not of that class. It avoids the many impractical suggestions that make the architect so unhappy, when a client, armed with a book that misleads, insists on things that the architect knows the client should not have. Country Life's book is composed of a series of authoritative articles, published during the past year, covering every phase of the aesthetic aspects of homebuilding. The articles are by people who know their topics and how to write about them. As a preliminary reading by clients, preparatory to a decision, this book will be helpful, and it is one that architects may safely recommend, and which thev may also read with profit.The work presents, first, a series on building in various materials. It then proceeds to discuss the n-any aspects of furnishing of the various rooms, the practical problems of heating, lighting and sanitation, and all the many decorative schemes that are proper to good taste and in artistic harmony with the type of house selected.There are many valuable suggestions in an article on "What We Should Know About Plumbing." Equally good is a discussion of the radiator problem. The article shows by a series of well-selected illustrations how to mask these often unsightly utilities. 1n an article on "The House That Will Not Catch Fire," there are good suggestions that may with economy be considered by the prospective home builder. The book has been attractively prepared and will undoubtedly be welcomed by a large class of readers.
