My favorite books

Here are a few of my favorite furniture books.  .Some of these have 
start to finish builds..... Some just have drawings and measurements .  These help out a lot when i have a piece to build using just a photo and a set of measurements .  

 I will get a list together at a later date ...

This book is a copy of one that was gifted to Mrs. Elga .  Just the type of book I look for .


Thank you for your time .....

    I have many of these books but there are a few that I don't have. Do you have any more of Lester Margon's books? I have all three of his older hardcover books and love them all.

    Hi Mario, can I ask what the Art of Making Furniture in Miniature is about? Is it like John Davenport's book or are there more plans?

    Thanks Mario,
    I had been offered a copy for £15. It's not in great condition they say, which could mean anything from falling apart or written in/on to ??. I've since seen it is also available on Amazon. I've been given the book by VJ Taylor (it's in one of your photos) and it is wonderful. I also found 2 of the Lester Margon books that Elga talked about and they are great too, even if they smell rather aweful. I wasn't going to add more books, as my little cottage is quite full enough with books, but I'm glad I did!

    If you really rate the Art of Making Furniture in Miniature and it has 18 plans, that is good enough for me and I might just treat myself a bit more..

    Thanks again, seeing what other furniture miniaturists are inspired by and use as reference books is a great help!
