I have just started collecting Heywood-Wakefield furniture. I began after seeing a show on Home and Garden TV Network on the reissued Heywood-Wakefield line currently being manufactured. I ordered a catalog from them, visited their web site, then started looking for dealers here in Dallas. Long story short, I found a gentleman here in Dallas who buys and sells antique Heywood-Wakefield pieces. I looked at what he had to offer, and ended up spending a small fortune on several pieces for my bedroom and living room. He swore by this book. This is the Heywood-Wakefield collector's Bible. It has a comprehensive list of nigh every piece Heywood-Wakefield made from about the '20s on. It has pictures of all the pieces, comments on the piece's designer(s), history, and most importantly, an updated (1999) pricing list. Buy this, and you and your dealers will always "be on the same page," literally, when it comes to discussing pieces. This is especially helpful to those who are buying from dealers cross-country. A definite must-have!!!

This book is everything I wanted. The illustrations are bery good and informative.

Although this book is extremely informative and handy to have, I didn't realize it was just modern Wakefield, although the title DOES indicate such. Good book for research for sure -- finding these pieces is not an easy task, but if you do, referencing this book will be beneficial to the collector and dealer alike.

The book arrived on time and in the condition as it was described online. Since it is out of print, I was happy to have found a copy.

For a Heywood Wakefield lover this book does give good reference info and some advert photos from back in time. Not in color but still a great reference.

I needed a reference book on Heywood Wakefield furniture, and I found it in this book. Great reference for style numbers, prices, etc. Definitely well worth the price.
