Detailed line drawings and photos of beautiful museum pieces augment the text.

Informative sidebars throughout delve into the passion and beauty behind fine furniture's artistic energy—lives of notable American furniture designers and craftsmen, guided views of masterworks, help in understanding certain styles, and more.
