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.
