A great addition to any folk art library

For anyone interested in Early American Folk Art, this book is a "must". Like other books written on this subject by Jean Lipman, this book which was co-authored by Lipman and Alice Winchester, is truly expertly written and illustrated, using a great blend of some 400 folk art examples from pre-revolution American until 1876.

This is an unbelievable price for a book so full of high-quality black-and-white and color plates. Not much text, but an excellent source of patterns for very appealing american folk-art motifs.
