4.0 out of 5 stars I found this book to be very helpful., June 9, 1999

By	Jeannie Byers (jabyers@nlci.com) (Indiana) - See all my reviews

Authentic Designs from the American Arts and Crafts Movement has proven to be a very helpful and inspiring publication. Luckily, it turned out to be just exactly what I was looking for! I have used several of the illustrations as inspiration to create logos or spot illustrations for brochures and business cards. The illustrations in the book are well-drawn and easy to see. The halftone screenings of the originally full-color illustrations are a little flat, but they are still nicely reproduced. If there were more full-color illustrations, I would have granted this neat book 5 stars. Thanks for the concise collection of many great design ideas.

1.0 out of 5 stars Misleading Cover, June 7, 2006

By	J. Schmidt - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

I thought this book would be mainly drawings similar to the cover, individual drawings that could be reproduced. They are not. MANY of the pages are china designs (patterns around the edges of teapots, plates, etc). The drawings are not reproduced flat, making them difficult to use. In some cases, I felt the drawings were a little dark as well. I was thinking they would be a little more like a coloring book style - outlines or solids so that the pattern is clear(much like the objects on the cover), but that's rarely the case. Some of the drawings are quite nice, but I would check this book out in person before purchase to ensure it is what you are looking for.

1.0 out of 5 stars A Bad Coffee Table Book, December 22, 1998

By A Customer

Misleading Title- This book covers only designs from Keramic Studios. No depth and no inspiration. I would rate it 0 stars. A waste of money and in the trash it goes.
