An Affair with a House

The new introduction and added chapter on how the rooms evolved make this edition worth it even if you own the original. The binding feels substantial in hand, the kind of book you leave out on the coffee table.

Bought this as a gift and ended up keeping it for myself — the binding and paper quality feel genuinely luxurious in hand. The extra chapter on how the rooms have changed over the years adds a quiet, personal layer the original edition didn't have.

I bought this as a gift and nearly kept it for myself. The new introduction and the added chapter on how the rooms have changed over the years make it feel like a fresh read rather than just a reprint, and the binding is genuinely lovely enough to leave out on a table.
