- Excellent detail about his style of architecture and design
I enjoyed reading about some of the buildings and projeects he worked on. The book writes about the other details he goes into in designing the buildings, furniture and intricate details in his works. I am currently trying to have a house designed in his style , so the book has tremendously useful for my architect and of great interest to myself.

- The definitive work on C.F.A. Voysey.
This is definitely the finest book I have read on the life and work of Charles Voysey and stands as an example of how to produce such a work about any notable figure of the Arts & Crafts movement. Wendy Hitchmough's study of the man and his achievements seems thoroughly researched, revealing many facts that shaped the character and hence the work of one of the most infuential yet barely heard-of British domestic architects. His houses have spawned thousands of imitations, the majority mistaking his achievements through decent, honest quality of design and construction, for "style". The book details in text and superb photographs the evolution of the "Voysey House" and gives rewarding views of many properties including interiors rarely seen since most are private dwellings. Unlike other writings about Mr. Voysey this one looks beyond his reserved exterior to find a man of warmth and quiet humour unfairly overlooked by the other authors, and the typically excellent material quality of this Phaidon edition befits its content.
