“Apartment Therapy: The Eight-Step Home Cure,” (Bantam, $14)
Maxwell Gillingham-Ryan forged his design expertise by working “with regular people in regular apartments.” Don’t buy that? Consider this: The HGTV personality developed the holistic home tips outlined on his website, apartmenttherapy.com, and in his new book, “Apartment Therapy: The Eight-Step Home Cure,” while inhabiting a 250-square-foot studio in New York City. “This book is about how a home works and what makes it healthy,” he writes. “It goes far beyond surface-oriented decorating.” | Elana Ashanti Jefferson
