John Fowler: Prince of Decorators by Anonymous

3 Stars
July 21, 2009
This book is informative, but many pictures are in black and white and fail to show detail. Fowler's forte was decorating on the cheap; a disciple of reclaim, repurpose, reuse. Good ideas for today.

I found this book to be interesting from a historical point of view, more than as an "interior design" book.

Book on John Fowler by Robert H. Burrell

5 Stars

I bought this book as a companion to the one I have on Colefax and Fowler. Have always admired the work of the firm. Enjoyed reading more about John Fowler and the projects he worked on.

Poor picture quality by Javier Barrios

Book's pictures are of poor quality and worse still, small in frame. Not worth the asking price.

A Colorful and Warm Cover...but... by colorful-one (New York, NY)

3 Stars
December 17, 2007
I was dissapointed with the lack of quality "full page color photos" inside this book. One can not get a sense of the cozy details in Fowler's designs, in the pics represented within. I found the book mostly a biographical story rather than an inspirational journey through Fowler's career. Don't be fooled by the intimacy presented on the cover...once inside you might be surprised by the lack of warmth.
