I am doing a Victorian dollhouse and I got this book out of the library just to see if it would be of help to me in planning my furnishings. It turns out that the author has gone room by room, describing the use, appearance and items you would expect to find in each. It is exactly what a miniaturist wants to know. So - I am ordering one for my very own. Anyone who is fascinated with Victoriana should like this book since Mr. Mace really gives you an insight into the Victorian era and a feel for life during that period. While most of the book's illustrations are black and white, they are clear and several color plates are included. He includes price ranges for collectors as well but since this book was published in '91, they would be of limited use.
