Title: Disappointing
Product review: This book is great if you want to get an overall sense of what makes certain pieces of furniture valuable. But in terms of details, fuhgeddabodit. There are no close up shots of anything. The pictures are all B&W and of poor quality. I bought this because I wanted to see details of Federal furniture. What did the inlays look like? What kind of wood was used? The book doesn't even attempt to look at such details. So, "Fine Points of American Furniture" is a rather misleading title. The title should have been, "In the Macro Sense, Why Certain Pieces of American Furniture are Valuable From a Design Perspective: A Collection of Poor Quality Photos."
