Pool & Spa Living
"With her light touch, Busch--at once learned and unpretentious--takes you through a tour of homes and homemaking that is rich in history and sumptuously detailed. 'Dining Room' tells, among things, of how table knives lost their pointed ends when Louis XIV decided that the table was no place for dueling. Henceforth all knife-ends were to be rounded and a great leap was made, if not for mankind, then for manners...No corner of the home or habit of the mind goes neglected here; reading this, you will look on your house--from its public face, the front door, to the inner sanctum of the well-appointed bathroom-with new eyes."

"But just when it may seem that no one respects rowhouses anymore, along comes a book that reminds us what they've meant to the city - and why they're worth celebrating...For a bleaker look at the fate of the rowhouse, readers will have to look elsewhere. As Baltimore grapples with the issues of 'undercrowding' and abandonment, other voices are sure to weigh in. By taking such a serious and authoritative looks at the Baltimore rowhouse - and finding so much positive to report - Hayward and Belfoure have made a valuable contribution to the debate."
