Prairie Style

Summary: not what it appears
Review: What is Prairie Style? You'll never find out from this book. It is a mish-mash of things that are rather geometric. It uses some terrible new designs that detract from the otherwise wonderfully executed designs by the original designers. There is so much Stickley presented here it should have a different title. Some of the best of the Prairie School is not included. This book had a chance with the great cover but after flipping through it, looking at the photographs, it went right down hill. Taking time to read the text took it right to the bottom. Someone should try this subject again, with an understanding of the subject.
