"No real style info, but still looks great."
"beautiful informative book."
"Lovely book with helpful tips to styling a room."
"I adore Emily Henderson and was so dang excited to receive my preordered book in the mail."
"Everything I love of Emily jammed into one great book."
"It seems that the best this book has to offer was already posted online because the few bits I found were the only bits that were useful in the entire book. I personally have what she describes as a "traditional" style (as defined by the style guide/quiz in the book), but there really was nothing resembling traditional in the book, even by her own definition of traditional. [SPOILER] She only says two useful things in the book: 1) Find pictures of home decor that speak to you, and emulate them (which is fantastic and classic home decor advice) and 2) hang curtain rods higher, longer and wider than the windows so that they don't block light and look more polished (another gem for any style). Despite the dozens of home decor books that I own, I find that I use the Domino book more than any of the others."
