"Interior decorator Keith Irvine steamed into New York Harbor in 1957 and immediately embarked on designing the unique, inspired interiors that have ensured him a place at the pinnacle of his field. Born in Scotland and trained in his profession in London -- notably by British decorating legend John Fowler -- Irvine combines old-world wisdom and new-world enthusiasm in his mostly traditional rooms and houses. The first book on his work, [this one] ... is at once illustrated autobiography, collection of work, and elucidation of design philosophy." (dj).
