I own it. The book is just a photo book of the pieces. There isn't too much information on the pieces, and only one photo per item. Its a great book for the caliper of items, and the photos are great to blow up if wanting to make a reproduction.

Kirk,
Much as I hate to knock any publication that adds information in our field of interest, it seems to be a generally held view that if you want a reference book that gives a good "bang for the buck" this is not it. It is a small catalog of a museum exhibition of privately held pieces of furniture. It covers a lot of territory in a small space and so, does not go into great detail, descriptively or photographically, of any of the furniture. As a good working reference for a furniture maker, I do not recommend it. I also own it. PSP
