Gorgeous book!
I'm not really a fan of Craftsman style homes, although I can appreciate some of it's details, especially in hotels or churches, but this book is just gorgeous. I found that it had just enough information on the history of the Craftsman style, and also on each individual house, hotel or church, without going overboard.
I enjoyed learning more about this style and the photographs are so beautiful! If you're a fun of Craftsman style I think you'd love this book.

I love the homes portrayed in numerous large photos in this books!
I got this book out before a trip that included looking for Craftsman homes in Pasadena. I just finished it. I also checked out a similar book that focused on architects Greene and Greene. I almost finished it during the trip. Saw some beauties!

This is the perfect primer for anyone who wants to know more about arts and crafts, bungalows, craftsman architecture, etc. They cover the major players in America with a little history on how they were influenced by Brits like Henry Morris. I like how the authors showcased different architects around the country by highlighting a building that they designed. Wonderful book.
