4.0 out of 5 stars Beautiful color photos the best part of the book, August 1, 2006
By Guy Ivie (Panama City, FL USA) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
I'm not knocking the text, because it's informative, but the photos are the reason I bought the book. Rouland's book may be more complete, but you just don't get the same feel when the photos are black & white (not his fault; he was working from company literature in order to be complete). Gertz concentrated on the more popular pieces -- which are likely more easy to find in order to photograph, if they weren't in his inventory already -- and then did them up proud in this extremely high-quality book. To me, it qualifies as a coffee-table art book that should be on display in the living room... preferably on a Heywood Wakefield coffee table. The book is also useful as a reference for the pieces displayed, but the price guide reflects the market of 2000-2001. (Perhaps a 2nd edition will be forthcoming?)

WARNING: Looking at this book may cause severe furniture envy, resulting in the expenditure of large amounts of money with the various Hey-Wake dealers, such as Gertz himself, the folks at Springdale Furnishings, or Strictly HeyWake.
