*New York Magazine’s The Cut*
"For the friend who can't stop browsing apartment listings, gift
this book from New York magazine's design editor of 20 years, Wendy
Goodman. Goodman takes you through dozens of rooms, with pages of
inspiration on how to create a space that reflects your passions
and personality. (If you want a peek at her own space, we've got a
tour of her brownstone for you to browse.) "
*Apartment Therapy*
"Those who like to snoop around houses will enjoy this book by
American design editor Wendy Goodman. It is not about slick
interiors, but those 'where the decoration is a by-product of a
person's passions in life'. As such, the 75 houses and apartments
she visits - the result of 30 years of 'design-hunting adventures'
- are a diverse bunch. John Pawson's minimalist terrace in Notting
Hill could not be further from fashion designer Gene Meyer's
colourful New York apartment. The text is brief, but the
photographs - some taken by Wendy herself - make up for it."
*House & Garden*
"packed with offbeat home tours around the world"
