Summary: Well-done representation of the spirit of arts and crafts
Comment: This was the first book on the arts and crafts movement I read, and I have only read a few since then, so you can take my opinion with a grain of salt. What I was looking for, and found in this book, is an overview of the arts and crafts style. What I like about it, but one of the other on-line reviewers did not, is that it uses arts and crafts movement as inspiration, and brings it into modern times. However, it does this without losing the feel and goals of the style. It has beautiful photos and tells you which elements of design in each photo is specific to the arts and crafts movement. Also, it not only has photos of interior rooms, but also of exteriors. Pictures of original elements are inluded. For example there is a picture of the "Gamble House" and Frank Lloyd Wright's own dining room.
I think anyone would like this book, but I would specifically recommend it to people who are starting out exploring the arts and crafts movement and want to see if they like it, or those who want a simple book that represents the spirit of the movement. People who are die hard admirers of arts and crafts may want to check out other books.

Summary: Arts and Crafts (Architecture and Design Library)
Comment: I returned it. Not what I expected....pictures are not relevant to the Arts and Craft movement. Too many new designs in newer homes. If you want to get a good book go with The Bungalow, Americas Arts and Craft Home. This book has more to offer and better photos,inside and outside of the Bungalow.

Summary: Excellent color photos make this book a must!
Comment: This is a well-done book on Arts & Crafts Movement exteriors, interiors, details and finishes. Over eighty beautifully shot color photos show buildings, furniture, and decorative details of the Movements style, and what makes it so warm and appealing. Anyone who is a fan of the Movement, and especially anyone considering remodeling or building an Arts & Crafts style home should have this book for the pictures alone.
