Like any field of collecting and enjoying antiques, there are numerous books on the market to wade through. The Arts and Crafts movement also gets blanket coverage by a deluge of 'style' books on home interiors, exteriors and so on.

The book does not however provide any in-depth coverage of the range of more affordable and more widely available pieces that most people will come across in their antique hunting.
