(More customer reviews)This book has considerable overlap with Popular Woodworking's Authentic Arts and Crafts Furniture (2000 ISBN 1558705686). The Limbert Bookcase featured on the cover, the Limbert Inlaid Rocker, Morris Chair, Greene and Greene Entry Bench, Prairie Spindle Chair, and Mantle Clock were all in the earlier volume, as were the introductory articles on the History of Arts and Crafts Furniture and Construction Techniques. With about one-third of the content is duplicated, the publisher should make the relationship to the earlier work clear. Not doing so detracts from an otherwise excellent compilation of high-quality articles.
