Does any one out there know of some good shop drawing books (Author and title please) that are written about early American furniture designs?

A great book I have is:
Antique Country Furniture of North America
by John G. Shea
Van Nostrand Reinhold Co., 1975
450 W. 33rd St.
New York, NY 10001
It includes measured drawings and hundreds of photos, as well as an extended bibliography. Good luck!
American Country Furniture by David T Smith
Measured Drawings of Early American Furniture by Burl Osburn
The Pine Furniture of Early New England by Russell Hawe Kettell
If those aren't what you need, I'll look and see what else I've got on the shelf downstairs.

(Edit) What specific project are you looking for and in what style/regional characteristic?
