It has been out a long time and yes it is full of lovely photos and creative ideas and worth owning. Elizabeth's husband is a talented architect and they used to have a "holiday house" at Todi (as shown in the book). He is now very successful but about 5 years ago was the architect for a friend's holiday house project near Perugia..superb job done. An aside....If you have read A House in Sicily by Daphne Phelps and google Casa Cueni, Domenico Minchilli was involved in the restoration there. Elizabeth Helman Minchilli has done several books with the photographer Simon McBride which are worth seeking, possibly second-hand.
