- Reviewed in the United States on February 19, 2025Format: HardcoverVerified PurchaseWe love this book and use it as a coffee table book. I’ve also noticed being used on some HGTV shows. It’s a great design piece. The pictures are so interesting and bright. It’s a joy to explore.
- Reviewed in the United States on January 5, 2025Format: HardcoverVerified PurchaseThe most beautiful book! From the front cover (no paper cover necessary) with the Coastal letters sinking into it, talk about a sensory experience! All books should be like this, inviting your fingers and mind into them from the first touch.
It’s large, heavy-but not too heavy and absolutely pops on my shelf.
I love reading it, looking at it and so do my boys and friends. It’s luxurious.
What an amazing find!

1.0 out of 5 stars Ordered 3 times and all 3 books are damaged
Format: HardcoverVerified PurchaseThe photos are amazing but I’ve ordered 3 and they are all damaged; one is ripped on the corner of the cover and all 3 are warped and the pages won’t sit flat. It is sent in a big box with no protection despite customer service saying they would personally ensure that the 3rd order would be packaged differently. Buy this beautiful book elsewhere.
