Basil Ionides's influential book on the use of colour in interiors, very scarce with the dust jacket. Ionides was an Art Deco architect and interior decorator and contributed to the Savoy Theatre and Claridges. Each chapter in Colour and Interior Decoration focuses on a single colour. Ionides gives complete decorative schemes based on the colour and prescribes complementary shades for walls, woodwork, ceiling, floor, curtains, covers, cushions and ornaments. A handbook that is still relevant today.

Basil Ionides (20 June 1884 – 23 September 1950) was a British architect who published two best-selling books, Colour and Interior Decoration (1926) and Colour in Everyday Rooms (1934). He is best known for his 1929 interior design of the rebuilt Savoy Theatre in London.

Biography
Ionides was born in Scotland, the fourth son of Luke Ionides and grandson of Alexander Constantine Ionides, Greek ambassador to London. He studied at Tonbridge School and Glasgow School of Art 1900–1903. While there, he wrote architecture articles. He served his apprenticeship with Alexander Nisbet Paterson, during which he designed his first building, the double villa in Winton Drive, when he was only 18. Upon the completion of his apprenticeship in 1904 or 1905, he moved to London and joined the office first of Leonard Stokes and then of Harold Ainsworth Peto.

Ionides entered independent practice in 1908 and designed a number of English houses. During the First World War, he served in the Naval Reserve and was commissioned. He relinquished the commission, however, preferring to serve as an ordinary seaman, as he did not like giving orders to more experienced men. He was injured in 1917 and returned to private practice, particularly performing interior work.

Ionides married the Honourable Nellie Samuel (1883–1962), the widow of Walter Henry Levy, daughter of the 1st Viscount Bearsted, in 1930 after meeting her while he was decorating her residence in Berkeley Square. She was an expert in Oriental porcelain and collected art works, many of which were donated to Richmond Council. Basil and Nellie had one child, Adam, who died at the age of nine. The Ionides acquired Buxted Park in Buxted, Sussex in 1931. With a combination of Basil's discerning eye and Nellie's fortune as the Shell Oil heiress, they restored the Park and became important art collectors. But fire destroyed much of the house in 1940, and the top storey was lost entirely, with much of their collection. Ionides scavenged architectural pieces from bombed-out buildings around the country with which to rebuild his stately home (now a hotel). He served as High Sheriff of Sussex for 1944.

Ionides was an important Art Deco designer. He was best known as the architect (with Frank A. Tugwell) for the rebuilding of the Savoy Theatre in London in 1929 and for Claridge's Restaurant. For the Savoy Hotel's restaurant, he famously sculpted Kaspar, the Black Cat, who acts as a good-luck guest at tables if thirteen would otherwise be present. He published the important books Colour and Interior Decoration in 1926 and Colour in Everyday Rooms in 1934. He also designed the interior of the ticket hall at Hounslow West tube station. Ionides was admitted to the Royal Institute of British Architects (RIBA) in 1931 and was elevated to Fellow in 1938.

Ionides died in Brighton at the age of 66 and is buried in St Margaret's Church in Buxted Park

Solid book that gives you useful commands and some Blue Team essentials
Format: Paperback
If you're looking at this, you know why you're looking at it, so not going to explain. It is good. 130 or so pages and most of it is commands that are useful for your run books. The book doesn't explain how to interpret the results, but if you can understand it and are comfortable on a shell, you can probably hazard a guess anyways, or Google it. A small amount of the commands are a tiny bit dated, which is expected with a print manual giving you commands for applications/OSes that are always changing, but even if dated, they at least give you the idea of what to run. Just go look up a good replacement application, or check the --help file for updated syntax. Really liked the IR checklist at the back, will incorporate some of that.

Its a book!
Format: Paperback
Obviously, comparable to RTFM, marketed as more geared to responders, or Windows domain admins with a small amount of Linux in their network. My review assumes you know what the book you are shopping for is, you have read or heard about the RTFM and this. Awesome book, you'll likely find or be reminded of something very useful that you can use tomorrow based on flipping through it. Good - What you'd expect, condensed, long listing of commands with brief descriptions. Network, firewall, registry, services, etc etc etc. Command based AV scanning and lots more. Lots of stuff is based on "Basic" commands included in powershell or windows cmd, additional tools sysinternals suite, some typical third party network command tools, as well a few references to less common tools. Eh - Frighteningly short intros to some tools, but for brevity's sake seems necessary, I'd suggest readers try everything in a lab. Bad - Many commands are described from a very basic idea gearing up to fairly complex, complete, long commands, with lots of big font and double spacing. Little to zero instruction is provided for some stuff, for example, the reg query commands, which you can read and see what they do or are for. Lots of lines go to nearly the exact same command (like firewall rules), I feel like they'ed be better if they had more context. The font is bigger (than RTFM), I'd like it if the book made more use of tables, bolding and underlining, and italicizing do differentiate sections of text, along with a smaller font and no double-spacing. I feel like this just adds to the girth of the book. All in all, great book, I definitely recommend it for network or domain admins and defenders.
