If one is at all interested in interior design and decoration, then this book is a must have. Albert Hadley owns “style” and “good taste”. The photos in this book are great and it is a very interesting read. He is such an interesting talent that anyone at all interested in design would love this book.

Not only does Adam Lewis’ biography of Albert Hadley allow us to take a retrospective look at the great man’s life and career, he allows us do this on the most part through Hadley’s own words. “Albert Hadley: The story of America’s preeminent interior designer” is an important work about the dean of American decorating, and undoubtedly one of the greatest designers in the world today. Having studied under Van Day Treux at NY Parsons school and then going on to work for the top firms of the day – Mc Millen and then with Sister Parish before their eventual partnership of Parish-Hadley, Albert Hadley’s clients were America’ wealthy and elite. He has created some of the most famous, stylish, chic and absolutely timeless interiors, and the photographs of these will make this book a monograph in my library that I will refer to and study meticulously time and time again.

I read this volume from cover to cover; I’ve always admired Albert Hadley’s design aesthetic. Hadley’s working relationships with McMillen and Sister Parrish are examined, along with some wonderful antecdotes. My only wish is for more images of Hadley’s work thru the ages, but this book gets five stars, and I’d recommend it to any designer.
