This authoritative volume by renowned furniture maker and historian Jeffrey P. Greene serves as a comprehensive guide to the history, technique, and structure of early American cabinetry. Published by The Taunton Press, the book explores the evolution of 18th-century styles—from William and Mary to Chippendale—through detailed scholarly text, high-quality photographs, and technical "exploded" drawings that reveal internal joinery. It is considered an essential benchmark for woodworkers and antique collectors interested in the craftsmanship of the period. The book is in good overall condition; the dust jacket shows some visible wear and light scuffing, while the internal pages remain crisp, clean, and tightly bound.
