Time-Saver Standards for Interior Design & Space Planning First Edition

The "silver bible" for interior design! This is my third copy since 1991 because I use it constantly!

I bought this used (a STEAL at $20 considering its packed with highly detailed architectural and design info) and keep it on my desk at work; it is pretty much the one thing Id grab if the building went up in flames and I had to run (well maybe also my wallet). Panero is an indispensable author--I really recommend all his other works, but this GIANT unabridged dictionary sized tome will be with you from design school to your more advanced stages in your career, whether you are in commercial or residential design.

HUGE ASSET! This book has everything in it and has been extremely helpful. It is a big book, therefore, it is not easy to carry around. I take it to school occasionally-I have chosen to lug it around in a rolling cart--most helpful for all those books and drawing tools, etc. One downside, sometimes the print is so small you may have to have a magnifying glass to see what is written.Purchasing this book on Amazon saved me a lot of money. I highly recommend this book for Interior Design students and Designers.

I promise you everything that you need Is in here even when you think you don't need it!

I'm an architect. This book is the interior equivalent of architectural design. It's a great reference. I find some of the drawings a bit messy to read but maybe that's the difference between interior design and architecture, or just the way how the book is printed.

very technical and not for the amateur decorator. I thought it would have industry standards in an easier to find format but alas, I could look it up on the internet easier. Good for architects and commercial designers as an office reference.

I constantly reference this book for conference room layout of seating/tables. I also use this book for office layouts. Great resource that I keep close to get a quick insight on how many people, tables, and chairs should fit into a given space comfortably.

I am using this book teaching majority of my classes. It seams that it does not stay on the shelf in the library. Well worth the money. Excellent reference for Interior Designers
