“The air of elegance and taste which first breathes upon us from the cover, and comes as with a spicy aroma from the title-page, pervades every feature of the book—paper and type, text and illustration—from beginning to end; indeed, no work of the kind, which has yet appeared in this country, quite equals it in a certain combination of richness and simplicity.”—The N. Y. Tribune.
“The text and illustrations have also the unmistakable stamp of original investigation and independent feeling for the tasteful and refined in household decoration.”—The N. Y. Times.
“The charm of it lies deeper than in paper surface and letter-press and graver’s lines; and wherever it goes it will educate, inspire and refine.”—The Literary World.
“It is one of the most practical and useful books of its kind, and hits exactly the wants of to-day.”—Hartford Courant.
“Mr. Cook’s book—it seems as if any dwelling, no matter how humble, might make itself to blossom with touches of real beauty by the following of some of his wise suggestions.”—The Congregationalist.
