 There are better books around... July 15, 2006

This isn't a bad book, per se. It's great for someone just getting started with doll house design, who knows absolutely nothing and wants to gain some cursory knowledge of different period styles. For someone like me who has a significant collection of books on the hobby, there was nothing in this book that wasn't covered elsewhere (and with more detail). There are some do-it-yourself projects in here, but nothing exceptional. Many of the examples are of store-bought items.
If you're looking for a solid reference book on doll house crafting with specific period styles, I highly recommend Dollhouse Decor by Nick & Esther Forder and Making Miniatures in 1/2 Scale by Venus & Martin Dodge. For more modern furniture and accessory crafting, check out Andrea Barham's Doll's House Accessories, Fixtures & Fittings, or Freida Gray's Doll's House Furniture.
