Comments: Book should be renamed, "Commercial Staircases"
I bought this book, hoping to find pictures of residential staircases, from old and new houses. Instead, I was disappointed to find the book had only commercial staircases. While some of the staircases are quite intriguing, such as a glass staircase, the author should have named the book, "Commercial Staircases" or had a line on the cover which described the true contents of the book. so, buyer beware: buy this book only if your interest is in the commercial application of staircases.!
