'The New East' by Michael Freeman, a heavy (1.67kg) 227 page hardback with dustjacket, is the first comprehensive volume to present this ongoing style revolution and is sure to inspire anyone looking to add harmony and sensuality to their homes. Rich photographs brilliantly showcase Asian designs for living.
