, Gustav Stickley, Dover (1979) unaltered and unabridged republication of
Craftsman Homes
, originally published by the Craftsman Publishing Co., NY, 1909.
296 black-and-white AND and 4 color photographs highlight this early out-of-print book which features in-depth “a fresh look at an influential and thoroughly American style of design and construction.  Gustav Stickley (1858-1942) – leader of the American Arts and Crafts Movement, publisher of the
Craftsman
, writer, innovator and famous furniture manufacturer – created designs for a new form of American home.  Based on beauty, simplicity, utility and organic harmony, these designs were to have a lasting impression on the shape, look, feel and rationale of American domestic architecture.  Here, in 345 crisp black-and-white illustrations, are 78 authentic Mission style dwellings.  These are the plans that Stickley himself approved – reprinted directly from the original 1912 publication – and include illustrations of the exteriors and interiors, floor plans, elevation, structural suggestions, landscape designs, and Stickley’s own inimitable comments.”
