Midwest Book Review for „Skies/Himmel“ Published

The Midwest Book Review (MBR), established in 1976, just published a review for Skies/Himmel. They very highly recommend it! But read for yourselves:

Of special note is how “Skies/Himmel” will inspire interior design ideas for the home or apartment.
