One of the classic works on interior decoration, Edith Wharton’s The Decoration of Houses offers a comprehensive look at the history and character of turn-of-the-century interior design. Co-written with architect Ogden Codman, Jr., this invaluable reference provides us with numerous keen and practical axioms for house design, such as (1) The better the house, the less need for curtains, and (2) the height of a well-proportioned doorway should be twice its width.

Interesting possibilities, shame about the details

It is clear that the authors know their stuff, and it could have been so good. But the authors continually use superior tone, referring to our ignorance, then not thinking about their listeners and using European quotes without providing an English translation. Sadly the narrator makes this worse with unnecessary pauses and weird pronunciations.
I deleted the book before finishing it. Between the authors and the narrator they made me too irritated to continue it.
