One to own

Like any field of collecting and enjoying antiques, there are numerous books on the market to wade through. The Arts and Crafts movement also gets blanket coverage by a deluge of 'style' books on home interiors, exteriors and so on. This book is a must have for all A & C enthusiasts in terms of providing a quick yet comprehensive look at the movement, collecting subgroups, the top makers, and the range of pieces and prices. The book does not however provide any in-depth coverage of the range of more affordable and more widely available pieces that most people will come across in their antique hunting. Rago is the expert on the high-end and this book is focussed as such. As a reference, it is one to own. I look forward to his newest book due summer '05.
