My husband and I collect American Empire furniture. I understand Wintherthur has a lovely American Empire room.
Winterthur sounds like a great place for inspiration. I'd love a copy. thank you for the chance.
Would love to have this book of American craftsmanship and history.
I have always had an interest in early American century architecture. I have some drawings and photographs that depict the beautiful woodworking craft. This would be a great addition to my collection of recourses.

One of the first books I bought over 25 years ago when I was getting interested in woodworking was the Dover reprint Early Domestic Architecture of Connecticut written by Fredrick Kelly in the 1920's. It features wonderful line drawings of early American interior woodwork, doors and windows. I would enjoy a more modern treatment of the subject, with better photography. Thanks.

Boy I enter every time and get squat... I'll try again.Maybe I need that little guy from the commercials "Lil-bit-o-luck"
Why not!
I'd like to have this book!
The Winterthur Museum is very much highlighted in Colonial Williamsburg's 18th Century Woodworking Conferences. It would make an excellent addition to anyone's woodworking reference library - especially mine.....Gerald

One of my favorite inspirational tools is a book featuring the furniture which survived from medieval castles. I love to see the antique/ancient methods and designs used by previous generations/ages, and garner inspiration for new or replica furniture from them. This book would be a very valuable resource to add to my collection.
On a visit to Washington DC we toured Mt Vernon (George Washington's home) In addition to the fact that the place has tolerated millions of visiters I was impressed with the firniture and interior woodwork. I saw four pieces of furniture that my folks owned (as faithful reproductions) which I now have.
I wouldn't be surprised and would hope to find one or two of these in the book as well as others to build.
I would be pleased to own a copy of this fine book...
I'd love to add this book to my collection!
Thanks for the opportunity.
I toured the White House two years ago at Christmas. The woodworking there was amazing. Thanks, Chuck

I started wood working classes two years ago, recently purchased tools to use in my new workshop, practiced ornamental sculpture and would love now to be inspired by south of the border craftmen.

Books of period furniture are nice, books with period furniture in a traditional setting are even better.
