From Library Journal:

Parks's Complete Book of Window Treatments & Curtains (Sterling, 1994) was a practical, easy-to-follo, how-to book on window coverings. Unfortunately, this is an uneven work. The book begins with an excellent presentation on fabrics and equipment. However, the majority of the book is composed of directions for various soft furnishing projects that contain few illustrations, which makes the written instructions hard to follow. Given Parks's previous work, this book is a disappointment.

Review:

Over 80 interior decorating projects involving fabric applications are contained in a title which tells how to transform both rooms and individual pieces. Some projects require no sewing; others involve fabric preparation and advanced sewing projects. Plenty of color photos embellish ideas. -- Midwest Book Review
