Taunton Press, 2006. Hardcover. A very good copy in a very good dust jacket. There are hundreds of books on the market about designing the interior of a home, but none for homeowners that focuses on the design of a home's exterior.

In his new book "The Face of Home," Jeremiah Eck, FAIA, author of Taunton's "The… Read More
