A tribute to furniture craftsman Gustav Stickley honoring the spirit of the man and his work by integrating a life history with design philosophy and instructions for building nine pieces of Craftsman furniture. Stickley made his furniture for the middle class working family, yet his pieces have become high priced antique objects. The authors provide the working drawings and step-by-step instructions for building chairs, tables, screens, and other items, renewing the democratic principles of their design. Includes diagrams and photographs. Annotation c. by Book News, Inc., Portland, Or.
