Stickley Style: Arts and Crafts Homes in the Craftsman Tradition

Buying a beautiful book like this one "used" (and you can hardly tell it's been used), makes me wonder why I ever buy books "new". Great content by Arts & Crafts expert David Cathers accompanied by hundreds of lush color photographs of original period houses and ideas for building new or restoring old ones. A perfect book just to pour over and enjoy or use as a guide for a home build/restoration project. Lots of photos of original Stickley furniture and accessories too. I'm building a 1/12 scale model of a Stickley house from plans published in his October, 1910, Craftsman magazine and filling it with furniture. This inspirational book is a wonderful addition to my collection.

woodworking projects. We moved in this Arts & Crafts house built in 1912 two years ago and started remodeling a bit by bit. Also my woodworking hobby has taken off along with the remodeling. The more we have done on the house, the more we like and the more we want to know about it. I have been in the stores looking at those expensive mission style furnitures and mimic the design on my own piece. I designed every piece I made for the house. Then at the point that we think we need to know more about the history of Arts & Crafts and bigger picture, we bought this book. It is surprisely good book that contains everything we were looking for. Gorgeous pictures, stunning furniture. When we were refinishing the master bedroom, we were looking at the book constantly for ideas and colors. Now the room is done, I am looking forward to making my next project - morris chair. Again, I already know what it will look like from this book. Well, this book is not only for people like me who needs reference but also very nice one for those Arts & Crafts enthusiasts.

The knowledge in this book is valuable in showing the style of Arts & Crafts furniture. thank you, iris

Wonderful photography, great content about the Stickley contributions to the arts and crafts movement. A must have in any arts and crafts library.

As a hobbyist furniture maker that loves the Arts & Crafts style, I bought this book mostly for the pictures. Few books exist for people like me that will get down to the joints and construction of these classic pieces, so you content yourself to drool over the pictures and imagine making some of these yourself.The book was a good read. I read every page and enjoyed each one. The pictures were top notch. I have several on Arts & Crafts and the only one that I have enjoyed as much or maybe more, is In the Arts and Crafts Style by Mayer.I recommend the book for a wealth of information about Stickley and his brothers, and sensational pictures.

This seems to be a book authorized by the Stickley Audi Furniture Company. It is therefore, something of a high-class (very subtle) advertising "pamphlet," but it is still very well-done. The pictures are as beautiful as the furniture. The text is helpful and informative.

Good book in good condition. Came very quickly.
