    Good book if you are interested in the “Craftsman” style
    I am an architect and found this book quite interesting when I purchased it about 4 or 5 years ago … this time, I purchased it for a friend. The book has a number of interesting floor plans and some marvelous elevations dating back almost 100 years. It also has articles on craftsman style furniture, etc. If you are interested in the “Craftsman” style, I would recommend this book.

    A fun source book
    I enjoyed the discussion and illustration of Craftsmen homes, I used it for ideas and inspiration in renovating my own home. It is also an interesting view of home life and social mores in a different era.

    Great old designs that gave me some compelling ideas.
    Captures the spirit of the Arts and Crafts movement very well. I fully intend to build one of these domiciles soon, but it will be modernized. Technology in plumbing alone is enough to call for modifications to the traditional designs, never mind LED lights. However, the efficient design of these houses cannot be ignored and I will build modernized version of one of them. I especially like the idea of the sleeping porch and the nice big front porch sheltered from the elements. I also like the idea of the kitchen having a separate room attached to as a pantry an utility room.

    This book is a collection of magazine articles from the early 1900’s on the Craftsman style of Gustav Stickley. It applies mostly to architectural design. There is also a section in the back that covers cabinet work including some furniture. It is a great resource for getting started in the appreciation of the Stickley-Craftsman style. It is also a good starting point if you are interested in building a Craftsman style home.

    Architecture and furnishings of the arts and crafts movement by Gustav Stickley
    This is a good reference book, written by Gustav Stickley. It is a reprint originally published in 1909. Also this was a bargain at $6 slightly used.
