Purchase options and add-ons

From the author of The World of Gloria Vanderbilt, May I Come In?: Discovering the World in Other People’s Homes takes readers inside some of the most exquisitely designed houses.

Wendy Goodman has discovered and published stories on an astonishing array of private houses, notable for their character, personality, and flair, in her 30 years of design hunting. In May I Come In? she visits more than 75 that capture and express their owners’ spirit and passions. In this pantheon, imagination and originality hold sway: Artists and eccentrics are the equals of aristocrats and the mandarins of design, and every room has a story to tell.

May I Come In? is profusely illustrated with superb images by leading interior photographers, as well as Goodman’s own snapshots and memorabilia related to her quests. It is an irresistible visual record of the art of living by one of its most penetrating observers.

This book was exactly what I was looking for to add aesthetic to my office. It arrived in almost perfect condition, there was one corner slightly dented, but I am able to still display it on my desk without much notice.

Turning each page of this book is like opening a treasure chest - gem after gem after gem - I don't purchase a book of this type expecting to see examples of homes decorated in my taste - I want to see how others live regardless if I would do the same. That is the beauty of a book like this - the exposure to many other styles and ways of making a home a home. And the many exotic locations are such a bonus. The fact that the pictures may have been taken years ago or yesterday is immaterial -

I bought this book because i am a fan of Wendy Goodman and I am giving to all my friends because this book goes above and beyond all expectations. It is a wonderfully eclectic collection of amazing abodes with stunning pictures AND the wittiness of the stories makes it a page turner. What a welcome addition to the library.

A delicious treat from the wonderful, lush, endlessly curious eye of Wendy Gooodman (who seems effortlessly to know EVERYBODY chic who walks the earth). There’s so much inspiration here for the amateur, for the pro - for anyone with walls and a roof and a fantasy. A total pleasure to pour over!

The rooms featured are so over-the-top that I couldn't relate to them at all. I'm sure there are certain circles that these homes appeal to, but they are just not for me.

Reviewed in the United States on December 21, 2018

I am just a little bit addicted to this book. The philosophy of the book purports to be "Great interior design is a byproduct of one's passions," but actually, it is a lot "Quirky rich old people who don't give a s**t". Which makes it simply richly dazzling, chaotic, delicious.

If you get nightmares don't buy this book. The rooms are.just terrible. I can't image a person who could live in these places and what their minds must be like.
