Comments: Pretty Good This book is helping us a lot as we are remodeling our bathrooms, I found that many of the recommendations are for projects much bigger and much more extravagant than what we are looking at. We have still used the book quite a bit.

Comments: Just okay . . . The title of this book should be "1,001 Master Bath Plans", or the less catchy "How to Change a Very Large Space into a Master Bathroom" because that's what this is. I live in a tiny 19th-century rowhouse with one small but functional full bath and possibly enough room for a half-bath. I was hoping for some ideas on how to turn a small space into a bathroom, but this book did not provide that. However, it does have some great pictures and good floor plans for normal-sized houses.
