Best lampshade book ever!

A must for any designer's library! This book not only has great ideas, but It shows how to acheive them. I use this book quite a bit in my professional library.

Lampshades by Katrin Cargill photographs by James Merrell

As an avid home sewer, I found this book to be very helpful in creating my first lampshades. I enjoyed the pictures and found them to be helpful for future ideas. I also felt that this book had very good written directions that one needs to read to be successful. The lampshades featured in this book are more of the "tailored" everyday type and not the "victorian" vintage style. I continue to use this book as both a style and technical resource.
