Furniture Books

Timothy Fisher's book "Hammocks, Hassocks & Hideaways", is a great out of print book. I picked it up at the library. I am currently making the Ferro-cement outdoor furniture in the shape of a llama. I would like to write to the author but cannot find an address online. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Meanwhile, if your have kids (even if you don't) and love to be creative with how much or how little space you have, check this one out!

This is the absolute best reference book on Handel lighting - period. Defalco & Company show that they are the number one authority on the subject of Handel. I have seen many reference publications with examples of Handel lighting but never such a comprehensive work such as this.

The book explains each detail so precisely yet so simply. The animals and foliage appear three-dimensional and almost life-like. The lists of paints and supplies is a great help and the photos throughout the book are terrific -- shows details and step-by-step instructions. A wonderful learning tool!

As a new home owner, I poured over countless decorating magazines. I was overwhelmed with the numerous possibilities. Needless to say, I was thrilled to receive a copy of Belinda Albo's Home Decorating Planner. Not only is it easy to use,it inspires creativity. Having the decorating pieces at your fingertips encourages you to experiment with a variety of (Deccorating)ideas without having to spend alot of money, making it an affordable, fun and cost effective way to approach decorating.

Jeffrey Obersole's HANGING VICTORIAN LAMPS OF THE 19TH CENTURY pairs gorgeous full-page color photos with insights on identification strategies and values. The full-page color makes identification a snap.

Best book for office seating I have read, strong recommend!

This is great book about Hella Jongerius. It has wonderful photography of many of her designs. I highly recommend it!

This book is a reprint of Herman Miller company's 1952 catalog and it's a super reproduction. With all the Nelson, Eames and Noguchi material inside, this book shows some of the best furniture produced in the 1950s. Great reprint job.

This book may be the most important Herman Miller reference sorce out there. It out lines, with origanal catalog photos, what most collectors consider the most important design period ever.

On first glance, this looked like a near copy of the green Rouland & Rouland Heywood Wakefield book. It does not have the history of Heywood Wakefield like the green R&R HW book, which makes that book also worth owning. It is the same size as the green R&R HW book and includes many of the same catalog photos. This contains some nice original color catalog photos that were not in the green R&R HW book.

This is the ONLY Heywood Wakefield book with accurate prices for mint and refinished pieces. The green R&R HW book is way off and Harris Gertz's Heywood Wakefield book contains values for furniture found in well used condition. Harris's book has the best photos of Heywood Wakefield furniture.

Buy the books. Buy the furniture. You'll love it.
