Interest in English country house interiors is stronger than ever, and the time is right for a beautifully produced new book on the work of Robert Adam, the great neoclassical architect who influenced generations. Unlike the existing, more scholarly books on the subject, this richly illustrated volume will appeal to designers and homeowners as well as traditional architecture enthusiasts, promising to become an important decorating reference book. The definitive book on Robert Adam, with specially commissioned photography by Paul Barker, new scholarship by esteemed writer Jeremy Musson, and drawings from Sir John Soane's Museum. Adam (1728-1792) is unquestionably one of the greatest British architects of all time, who stamped his neoclassical aesthetic vision on both country house and town house. His achievement in the field of interior design was also exceptional, and in fact, Adam is one of the few architects to lend his name to an interior style. Review: Great publication - A beautifully produced book. Highly recommended.

Lack of Plans
The book is very beautiful but would have been much better if it had included floor plans of the buildings it discusses. These are, in my view, fundamental to the understanding of Adam's designs.

Beautiful Book
Item was as expected and arrived quickly and in good condition. Very coffee-table-book-y, but a lot of architecture books kind of have to be by nature. Great read, thanks!

Wonderful book. Magnificent photos of many of his best houses
I am a huge fan of Robert Adams. Lived and traveled throughout England/Scotland. In the process, really began to appreciate Robert Adam's work, particularly the delicacy of his ceiling plaster work. Introduced my brother to him and we took several trips, focusing on his works. This book does a great job presenting the best of his room designs in many of the great houses. I particularly like that there are detailed photos of the ceilings which were never much featured in the house tourist books. If you are a fan of Adam's work, this book is a must. Purchased one for my brother as Christmas present.
