dealer's choice?

There is a new book out on 
antique dealers homes called
It's pretty good,
but I was surprised how much work it
took to come up with 15 shots I liked.
Most of the places seem too, too,
over thought maybe?
Trying too hard? I don't know,
but the more I looked the less I liked.
Another bummer is that most of the homes 
I had seen before in other
publications,
definitely over half, maybe more like 75%.
I wanted fresh, and I got stale.
It's still worth checking out, but I'm  not sure
if I would recommend buying it.

  2. Not too impressed by the coco carpet in Seguin's place. I think I will still get the book to see what these guys private collection, but you're right: from the photos I would have expected something more spectacular or original.
