Southwest Style: 
A Home Lover's Guide
to Architecture and Design
by Linda Mason Hunter & Peter Vitale
$40 (208 page hardcover)

This book provides a look at Contemporary Southwest Style, which goes beyond the pastel Native American design previously popular to include a mixture of Spanish and Mexican as well as cowboy influences.  It shows how all these looks have been incorporated into home decor.   First, an overview is given of the region and the traditional architectural styles and details that comprise the Southwest.   Next is the depiction of homes in Arizona, Colorado, New Mexico, Texas and Utah - each exemplifying the region's style from mountain to desert.  This book is full of refreshing ideas.
