5.0 out of 5 stars
Great Reference Book,
By Olde Time Victorian (Downers Grove, IL) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Roberts' Illustrated Millwork Catalog: A Sourcebook of Turn-of-the-Century Architectural Woodwork (Dover Woodworking) (Paperback)
I have shared this book with several friends in the remodeling trades and all they can say is: "Where's the time machine so we can buy at those prices?" The illustrations and drawings in the book are excellent. As a reference to those in the trades, or for the homeowner doing a rehab/remodel of an old home or office building this book is invaluable for finding details and dimensions for thousands of pieces of millwork. Even if you're not in the middle of a project this book is a great glimpse into the past and a look at true craftsmanship. After looking through this book you'll never see trim and attention to detail the same way again. I really love this book.

This review is from: Roberts' Illustrated Millwork Catalog: A Sourcebook of Turn-of-the-Century Architectural Woodwork (Dover Woodworking) (Paperback)
This book is a great general reference. The information I found in it was very helpful. However, only a small portion of the book is dedicated to fretwork. Still a good reference though.

This book is a terrific graphical reference for victorian casework, gingerbread and related period architectural trim and ornament.
