“Constructing Bathrooms”, by William Spence

Spence, William Perkins. Constructing Bathrooms. New York: Sterling Pub., 2001. Print.

I have to say this was an odd book.  The best thing about it is the miniature pedestal sink on the cover, unfortunately.  It came across as outdated, even though it’s only 10 years old.  The information was poorly organized, and many times discussions that I thought should be together were separated into two far-flung chapters (there were two different chapters with example floor plans, for instance).  His floor plans emphasized open space with no indication of how to make it look like anything other than a ballroom with fixtures.  The majority of the pictures appeared to be reprints from bathroom fixture manufacturers, rather than being of real bathrooms showing real layouts and ideas.  The balance of the photos were amateurish.

A disappointment, and not recommended.
