Ooh, ooh, is that Rodel's book? I have an Amazon gift certificate
burning a hole in my virtual pocket. Is it really good?

Yep, that's the one. Bought it a few weeks before Christmas, put a
PostIt on it saying, "Gift for Dad", along with a stack of other
bookstore items similarly marked for relatives awaiting my wife and
daughter's wrapping party.

I've read a couple chapters into it so far and have been pleased with
it. I really wanted it for the picture of an original piece I want to
make (Limbert gothic arch side table) - Taunton's reproduction quality
is very good - plus the history and samples of the Movement from the
beginning of Ruskin & Morris on to Germany, Scotland, and the US. It's
really quite striking - the progression and the cultural differences of
the various countries and how that affected the look of their pieces.
Also the instances of other styles, like Art Nouveau or Bauhaus, showing
up in A&C pieces a decade or more before that style really became
defined.

Get it Larry, you won't be disappointed if A&C is your bent.
