Nice Pictures, Not Much Else…

This book has gorgeous pictures but I could’ve seen those online. I was looking for historical information and descriptions. This is basically just a small coffee table book of hotel photos from someone’s Mexican vacation. Pretty but useless.

Perfect

I gave this as a gift to my brother who is thinking of building an adobe home. I was on the phone with him when he opened and went through it. He said it was exactly what he was looking for and that he had tried to find a book similar to it in New Mexico but could not find what he wanted. This book answered many questions he had on specific adobe style and integrating some contemporary ideas. Beautifully photographed as well.

Beautiful Reference

This is a great primer for anyone decorating in a traditional Southwestern style. It is beautifully photographed. It's a small book but you will browse it over and over again !!!

Adobe Details

Adobe Details is a small but powerful book. It is well written and beautifully photographed by Karen Witynski and Joe Carr. This book satisfies the reader's appetite for Mexican and New Mexican decor while challenging him or her to venture out to one of the several locations featured. Ideas abound for the novice decorator. If landscape design is more your style, this book will also energize your outdoor spirits!! The vivid color and simple elegance make the book a "must have" for any library, especially those chocked full of information on the southwest.

Especially for architecture buffs

Adobe Details by award winning Mexican design specialists Karen Witynski and Joe P. Carr is an impressive survey at the culture, furnishings, and especially the architecture prevalent in the American Southwest and the mountains of Mexico. The majority of Adobe Details is devoted to breathtaking, full-color photography of grand living spaces; brief text captions and essays provide rich detail on the history, functionality, and symbolism of these inspirational edifices. Adobe Details is especially for architecture buffs and a welcome addition to academic and community library interior design reference collections.
