1 comments about Affordable Art Deco: Identification & Value Guide.
- This is a fun little book. It's being little is my only complaint. For the price I would like to have had a bit more. However, it does have a lot of color photos nicely reproduced so you can really see the designs.
It has a nice mix of furniture, accessories and even appliances from that period. Books that showcase museum pieces are nice to look at but "Affordable Art Deco" is for the rest of us -- those who want to create a Deco look in our homes. The authors give an idea of what things should cost, which is very helpful. For instance, two lighted art glass cigarette stands should run $75-$150, depending on condition. I've seen the same stands at an antique store priced at $400. I thought that excessive but now I have backup. I certainly don't regret purchasing "Affordable Art Deco" and would recommend it to anyone out there shopping for the real deal, e.g.; Not just looking at it in a museum.

1 comments about History of Furniture: Ancient to 19th C..
- I bought this book because I write fantasy and I needed to know what kind of furniture medieval and Renaissance era people were likely to have. I found it a better resource than anything I found posted on the web. The pictures were particularly helpful.

1 comments about Turn-of-the-Century Decorative Millwork.
- Note: This book and "The Victorian Design Book" (ISBN 0-9691019-6-1, A Complete Guide to Victorian House Trim) are both reprints of the "Universal Design Book, Chicago". Both contain listings adopted by the Wholesale Sash, Door and Blind Manufacturers' Association. This book is a reprint from a 1902 price listing, "The Victorian Design Book" is from a 1903 price listing, but both appear to match in price. Both books, while organized slightly differently do appear to contain the same items, illustrations and prices, with very little difference in content.
While both books use some color, "The Victorian Design Book" has additional color plates where the "Turn of the Century Decorative Millwork" uses black and white. Either book would be an excellent reference for historically accurate millwork from 1902-1903 (but you won't need both).
