i have read both book and they are wonderful! the books are bascily interviews with famous set designers talking about the different shows they have designed and their design process. both books has lots of good pics!!! i hope this helps :)
These are definitely prime reads for any aspiring or proffesional set designers. They are interviews with the top in the industry and full of great photos and stuff too. I love these books and if you are pretty into set design i would recomend looking into them. They have them at most libraries if you aren't sure if you wanna buy them.
