Simple & Understandable
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 17 years ago
A simple presentation to understand the "Arts & Crafts Movement". As a builder I am constantly looking for details that set my work apart from the "also-rans". I continue to reference this publication for trim details, and share them with my customers to create an exciting, unique, and exceptional building experience. gst

Exactly What I Was Looking For
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 20 years ago
This book contains everything that was promised in the reviews, and the photographs are exceptionally well done. I have read many books from the library on the Arts and Crafts movement, but this is one of the few that was worth purchasing. It is sure to be used as a reference many times in our decorating project.
Useful Concept within its Specified Scope

This is not a textbook nor a guide to its history or sources. It makes none of these claims. What it claims it succeeds in doing for us: A Workbook for Arts and Crafts lovers or beginners.We've found that going through books and magazines to find stuff we like in decorating in A & C style is what this great resource provides in neat, organized way!Great idea starter easy to carry when shopping. Who wants to carry a heavy stack of books with far too many words and few illustrations, except of rooms?This is more easily accessible for most of us shoppers. We've already used it for art, chairs and found it very resourceful and helpful.If you're an expert, maybe this has no place. For the consumer that we are, this is great! Depending on your needs and goals, this just might fit well in your A & C library like it has in ours.
