From Library Journal
Each of these books approaches dolls'
houses somewhat differently from the usual books on constructing houses
and making furnishings. Morse concentrates mainly on furnishings and
interior components for English period houses from Stuart (1630s) to
modern (1990s). Instructions are for adding interior elements to
already constructed houses, and furniture is pictured in photos without
directions for construction. Rowbottom's houses in 1/24th scale are
half as large as the usual 1/12th scale used for most miniatures. His
instructions and diagrams are for building period houses with furniture
pictured but not described in the text. Miniaturists will find both
books useful for specialized types of houses. Recommended for public
libraries needing more of this type of material.
