This review is from: Master of Mahogany: Tom Day, Free Black Cabinetmaker (African-American Artists and Artisans) (Hardcover)
I grew up in Milton, N. C. and my father was Mayor there for 16 years. He introduced me to Tom Day furniture when I was a child. I have several pieces and value them highly. A copy of your book is on the coffee table in my living room and I prize it. I am so happy that you wrote this book, because I had told my children for years how valuable the furniture was and purchased a copy of your book for each of them.The beauty of his furniture and the history behind it is expressed well in your book. Thank you.

This is a treatise on a man's life and work and it's a good one. I'd just prefer a bit more and better photography. As a visual person and a woodworker I learn and appreciate the showing more than the telling. Still this book is a great primer on what it meant to be a free person of color AND industry.
