Fire Places: A Practical Design Guide to Fireplaces and Stoves

For the relatively low price I was amazed at the great quality photography and paper quality. Good job with this book.

We are in the process of planning the details of our summer cottage. We hadn't found any fireplace surrounds that really met our needs. That is, until we checked this book out from the library! It has about every kind of fireplace you can think of, including outdoor fireplaces. We loved this book so much we ordered it from Amazon.com! We have found a wonderful fit for our future summer cottage in this book and we will be able to plan out the outdoor space/fireplace/brick BBQ too. It is a keeper!

Large, full, beautiful and informative book

I was looking for ideas how to decorate a fireplace in my house. This book definitely helps to get better understanding where to move. However, if you are interested in european style decorations, this book will not be of high value for you.

I was excited to find this book but once it arrived I was a bit disappointed in it. It has tons of photos of a variety of fireplaces, inside and out, exaplins the different types well but I was looking for more information on unique fireplaces, ones which could be placed in the center of a room. So if you're wanting a more traditional fireplace setting, this book might be great.

This book helped us somewhat, but we have come to a stale mate on this project, focusing on the kitchen instead, but it is always helpful to have such books for ideas.

It is exactly what the title implies - a picture book of fireplaces and stoves, with anecdotes of how each of the styles shown were developed. Nice coffee table book!

Great source of information on how to build a fieplace with great information on the different materials used in constructing a good fireplace along with infomation on how to get your fireplace to draw smoke up the chimney properly. I plan to use the information from this book in construction of my fireplace in my new home.

This book is clearly aimed at the American market hence some of the design are part weird and even garish but overall if you are looking to design a fireplace for the home it's not a bad place to start.

OK
