In the Craftsman Style Reviews
-
I thought this would be more of a how-to book like others I have. Most of the book is about modern designers and how that adapt the craftsman style to suit their own needs. The first chapter has a great overview of how the arts and craft movement started in England, with some new names that I had not heard of before. There are a few projects in the book but if you are looking for how to build a Morris chair or a tabouret look elsewhere. The book is worth looking at but I'm glad I found it at the library and didn't buy it.
