"The Complete Book of Shaker Furniture is destined to become the standard in its field. A comprehenisve survey of the entire 150-year range of Shaker design arranged to show the work of 14 Shaker communities, it combines lavish illustrations, including 117 in full color, informative background essays, upddated research largely based on original sources, and detailed construction analysis. While most books on Shaker furniture focus exclusively on the 'classic' period, a mere thrity years of Shaker cabinetmaking, The Complete Book of Shaker Furniture traces the evolution of the style from its beginnings in the late eighteenth century, based on English-derived forms, to a surpsrisingly rich Victorian-influenced style in the late nineteenth century - and even into the twentieth century." - dust jacket description.
