Reviews

The Arts and Crafts movement of design, popular at the beginning of the century, has a "desire to return to quality in workmanship and design" and a sparse modern look that make it continually popular today. The authors expand on their previous book, Architecture & Design Library, Arts & Crafts (Friedman/Fairfax, 1997), to include a more detailed look at the domestic architecture, including regional interpretations, as well as short biographies on the influential designers, artisans, artists, and architects of the movement. This book has an extensive resource list, lacking in the "Architecture & Design Library" series, that makes it highly recommended for interior design collections with a patronage for this design style.
