Review by Sarah E. Mitchell

Craftsman Homes was written by Gustav Stickley, the father and proponent of the Craftsman style in the United States. The book offers illustrations and plans of exteriors, interiors, furniture, curtains, pillows, lighting fixtures, gardens, etc. -- basically every facet of Craftsman design! An excellent resource for anyone restoring an Arts and Crafts or Mission home, as well as those interested in the style.

An excellent companion to Stickley Craftsman Furniture Catalogs: Unabridge Reprints of Two Mission Furniture Catalogs, "Craftsman Furniture Made by Gustav Stickley" and "The Work of L. & J. G. Stickley," with 594 Illustrations.
