Kurzbeschreibung
The Grove Park Inn opened in 1913, at the height of the American Arts & Crafts movement and was decorated with furniture from Roycroft, one of the major commercial producers of Arts & Crafts furniture. The Inn has retained many of the original pieces and has continued to acquire a large and rare collection of original Arts & Crafts furniture. The Grove Park Inn serves as an important link in the history of the Arts & Crafts movement and is a great location to view the furniture in place. This collection is the next best thing to visiting the Grove Park to see the furniture first hand, showcasing this rare and beautiful furniture for the first time in any book. Readers will also find never-before-published measured drawings for many of these pieces, making this a wonderful collection for history buffs and woodworkers alike.

A Great Read
27. August 2010
Format:Gebundene Ausgabe|Von Amazon bestätigter Kauf
I mostly bought this book for the promise of great pictures. The pictures were great, but I lusted for even more than the book contained. If my review were based entirely on the pictures, it would be a bit short of 5 stars. That is my only criticism.
I have come to recognize as a new investigator into the Arts & Crafts Movement that Bruce Johnson plays a significant role in the revived interest of Arts & Crafts. What the book does provide is a wonderful history of the the Grove Park Inn and of Roycroft's founder, people and products, as well as lesser know contributions.
Before buying the book, I was unaware of the Inn and it's significance. I expected to skim the text and and consume the pictures, but I actually read and enjoyed every word. I recommend the book for all its content, and my wife and I are now considering a jaunt down to the Inn for a stay and to maybe take a few pictures of our own and to enjoy the access to the wonderful history so freely available to the public.
Unless you have already read widely on the same subjects that this book covers, I think that you will enjoy this one and come away with a genuine appreciation for the rich history of the people and contributions that make this a special place.

This is a fascinating look at arts and crafts furniture and accessories found at the Grove Park Inn. The author presents a well-written account of the history of the Inn and other Asheville locations.
