The American Shakers and Their Furniture with Measured Drawings of Museum Classics

xv, 208 pp. "John Shea has approached Shaker craftsmanship from the designer's point of view. He has filled the need for a careful analysis of Shaker design-not just for furniture but for smallcraft and utility designs as well. He has included many photographs of classic pieces, and to expose the anatomy of these pieces there are accurately measured drawings and illustrations of original joinery methods."--jacket
