Summary: Great planning book--but not a how-to
Comment: This book covers the main points to consider in planning a basement renovation, and has lots of ideas, including good color pictures. If you need a book to tell you how to frame the walls and put up drywall, go buy one of those instead--there are a lot of those available. This book is a great guide to planning (just like the title says)!

Summary: What to, not How to
Comment: This book has great pictures and good design themes, but if you're looking for a book on how to finish a basement, this is no help. I've gotten some ideas from this book, but I still don't know where to start with the actuall construction.

Summary: Nice photos, not enough details
Comment: This book has plenty of great photos of finished basements and is a great "idea book" for someone who is trying to figure out what to do with their basement. However, it seems to be geared toward people who want to come up with a design, and then hire a contractor to implement it. I am plannning to finish my basement myself, and I found this book lacked the detailed information I will need to undertake that task. So, if you just need some ideas, and you plan to hire someone else to get the job done once you've planned it -- this book is great. If you're planning to re-do your basement yourself and need detailed information about how to do it, look elsewhere.
