STORAGE
by Meryl Lloyd & Joanna Copestick. Color photos by Andrew Wood. Condition: NEW 1999 Time Life large hardcover & DJ (in mylar jacket), no printing given. Content: Reviewer: "is great for someone looking for ideas. While the ideas are not all new, they are very practical. Their ideas range from baskets under sinks, to holders for pens and pencils, to shoe holders and ideas for clothes, as well as ideas for kitchens, bathrooms, offices, and all living spaces. This book also offers ideas for different types of ideas, from the pure and simple design oriented, to the show off type [displaying all or almost all items], to the industrial type. The only thing missing in the book is good ideas for books. There were a few ideas given, but not as creative as I would have liked. Over all, this is a great book offering many ideas for those looking storage. The photographs are clean and simple and give the reader an idea of what it might look like." [1 copy available]
