Quirky!

Love this book--wish it were available in pb & yes, should be a sequel! I keep telling people about this one...

Great gift book

The rooms featured in this book are amusing to look at, but more interesting are the essays written by the people behind the rooms. One man painted the walls of a guest room to appear as if you're inside a bird cage with an enormous malevolent cat staring down at you. If you find this intriguing, buy the book! Makes a great gift.

the eccentrics are alive and well in this book

this book captures the wonderfully creative people in the u.s.. it's fun to look at or even get ideas from. I would definately buy a sequal!

The most unusual book I have ever seen!

This is a book for everyone! Adults and children will adore it! It ignites your own imagination! A must have!

Astonishing! Alarming! Hilarious! And just plain wonderful!

When Confucius said, "A picture is worth a thousand words," this was the book he had in mind. Words just cannot do it justice. WEIRD ROOMS is not your mom's coffee table book. It is a collection of photos of truly obsessed collectors "at home" with their collections, accompanied by brief interviews in which the subjects talk about their collections, how they started, and how they developed into the remarkable assemblages of items displayed here. From toys to shoes to faux fruit to the Man of a Thousand (Smiley) Faces, to a "spaceship" cockpit constructed from 23 old computers and 4,000 rolls of duct tape, WEIRD ROOMS has something for everyone. I know it made *me* feel better about all those sheep in my living room!
