"This is arguably the most detailed study ever made of any brance of British furniture and is fascinating because it covers the work not of some single esoteric cabinetmaker but the work of hundreds of craftsmen, spread throughout the country, working in the general tradition of the area but superimposed with their own individual design 'signatures'" "This book will revolutionise collecting and the study of vernacular furniture. It will be quoted in auction catalogues and studied avidly by collectors as hundreds of new makers' names emerge from the blanket anonymity of 'Windsor', 'ladder back', 'spindle back', and other generalisations."- Book Jacket.
