The 10th Edition is like its predecessors in that it features the solid instruction, hundreds of examples, and clear interpretation of design guidelines that generations of readers have come to expect. But this new edition reflects today's approach to decorating--mixing styles for personal expression with an awareness of budget. It has been updated with a more accessible page count, targets a broader range of income and skill levels, and is more closely aligned with "Better Homes and Gardens" magazine, providing promotional opportunities and tie-ins. Complementary web pages provide supplemental slideshows and guidance from the experts at BH&G.
