This is a small book, slightly wider than pocket-sized, with a single full-page photo for each kitchen and a writeup by a British magazine editor on the facing page. I found it refreshing as it presents views from across the pond, quite different from the sprawling natural wood kitchens typically shown in American magazines. Most of these kitchens are quite compact and do not have islands, and very few can take advantage of full picture windows or features such as exposed ceiling rafters. So if you're working with a large kitchen space (say from an addition), you might not have much use for this book. What these kitchens offer is creativity in the selection and coordination of color, texture, materials, and pattern, in many different styles (contemporary, Shaker, etc), all narrated expertly by Ms. Savill. It's a neat book for browsing, and you can get a miniature lesson on decoration on most any page.
