    Arts and crafts/craftsman/stickley plans book

    There are alot of books out there on this that have many different plans in them.

    If you guys were to suggest a few books that cover these furniture styles what would that be. I saw a book for $8 on amazon that has 62 stickley pieces in it, but I don't want to end up with 20 books on the same topics.

    Thanks!!

    I recommend Robert Lang's books on this topic.

    I agree that Robert Lang's books are the best resource. He compiled three of them into a large single volume called the "Great Book of Shop Drawings for Craftsman Furniture." You can even order it direct from his own website, http://readwatchdo.com/

    His books are based on careful research and measurement of original pieces. Clear writing and good drawings. These books have been around for some years now and I don't expect anyone to improve on them anytime soon.
