Now in its 21st printing, George S. Day's Market Driven Strategy first defined what it means to be "market-driven".

From royal salons to modest spatter-painted Biedermeier halls, Hakan Groth and Fritz von der Schulenburg open the doors on an astonishing sequence of interiors; some, intensely private, are little known even in Sweden.
