The Essential Garden Book by Terence Conran

continue editing - have consulted this many times in the last 20 years but find no record in the book - often find theatre ticket's or other evidence of use - but not here

Bed and Bath Book by Terence Conran

I checked this book out from the library all the time when I was in high school, dreaming of the house I would someday have. I decided when I grew up I would have two things in my new house - a duvet and a bidet. As it turns out, I have neither! But I did get rid of my bedspread and got a comforter instead and haven't looked back on that decision.

The kitchen book by Terence Conran

Forty years ago, I was planning a new house, and therefore kitchen. This book was very useful. In the meantime, it looks very out of date. I'm sure the basics haven't changed, but a lot of the details have. Time to let it go.
