5.0 out of 5 stars Big and colorful
Lots of huge photos. The book is easily 50-75% full page photos with a lot of examples of the Craftsman style.
5.0 out of 5 stars Gorgeous book
I'm not really a fan of Craftsman style homes, although I can appreciate some of it's details, especially in hotels or churches, but this book is just gorgeous. I found that it had just enough information on the history of the Craftsman style, and also on each individual house, hotel or church, without going overboard. I enjoyed learning more about this style and the photographs are so beautiful! If you're a fun of Craftsman style I think you'd love this book.
5.0 out of 5 stars A Wonderful Blend of History and Photography
This book is perfect for the person who wants to know more about the Arts and Crafts Movement from a historical perspective and who also wants to see wonderful examples of this architectural style. It is also particularly helpful in training the eye to select accessories for your own home that follow the Craftsman tradition. The photography is just beautiful.Billie WeinsteinLa Crescenta, California
4.0 out of 5 stars Arts and Crafts Style, strictly speaking
I'm in the middle of converting my house into a neo-Craftsman style house ([...] I'm trying really hard to recreate all those wonderful details that you can seemingly only find in the circa 1914 originals. So, whenever a new book with Craftsman in the title (especially picture books) comes out, I'm quick to sneak a peek. So, I jumped all over this book (actually, I got it from the library). Here are my thoughts:If you are looking for a nice coffee table book with very pretty pictures of turn-of-the-century Arts & Craft houses, then look no further. This book has some wonderful stuff from houses featured in other similar books, plus many many houses I have never seen before. But, if you are looking for a book about Craftsman Style houses, you have found the wrong book.Yes, there are some houses that are what most people would call Craftsman. These include the usual Craftsman Farms house, some Green and Green, and the obligatory Bungalows of Pasadena. But, most of the houses in the book are not Craftsman at all, that is if you subscribe the notion that Craftsman houses are houses that were either featured in Gustav Stickley's original Craftsman magazine, or were obviously inspired by one of them. Instead, you'll find some beautiful pictures with a more William Morris type definition of Arts and Crafts. First off, you'll actually find pictures of William Morris' own house (never seen that before!). You will also find wonderful pictures of very gothic looking houses. You'll see marvelous neo-medieval houses. You'll find terrific Tudor revivals. But, you won't find many Craftsman Style houses, which is fine, except for the title of this book. Yes, Stickley and his followers were very much inspired by Morris, and it is fair to say that all things Craftsman are part of the Arts and Crafts movement. But, it is incorrect to say that all things Arts and Craft are Craftsman.The pictures are wonderful, the text is insightful, but the title is wrong. Oops.
