Editorial Reviews
In the latest addition to Taschen's "Interiors" series (e.g., New York Interiors, Tuscany Interiors), journalist Sethi showcases 44 homes, offering an insider's tour of India's architecture, cultural traditions, and lifestyles. Some 500 full- and half-page color photographs accompany Sethi's descriptions--in English, French, and German--of the residences and their occupants. Readers visit a Buddhist home in the Himalayan Mountains, river houseboats in the canals of Kashmir, the treasures and royal splendor of the Maharajas' palaces, and mud houses in the Thar desert. Though the photographs are exquisite, the written descriptions are not as extensive as one might hope--but they are vivid. Recommended for interior design collections and public libraries serving patrons who like to live vicariously.--Judith Yankielun Lind, Roseland Free P.L., NJ Copyright 1999 Cahners Business Information.
