Seller's Description:
TRUST OUR FEEDBACK RATING-USED GOOD.1. Construction of the book is good. Spine still fully bound but not perfectly tight. No loose pages. Clean pages. Potentially no writing, highlighting, marks or underlining on the pages. No page discoloration. Boards in ok condition but in no way perfect with wear along the edges and sides of the boards. Dust jacket is in good condition but has more obvious creases and tears. This is a good useable book. An old price sticker or sticker residue on front or back cover. A few pages may have some creased corners. Some moderate rubbing on the cover. All books are mailed out in a bubble wrap mailer to protect your purchase. Orders are ALWAYS shipped same day or next day with FREE TRACKING emailed to you automatically. (WE TRY HARD TO DESCRIBE OUR BOOKS ACCURATELY SO YOU CAN BUY WITH CONFIDENCE)
A good history of the Kentucky Shakers, with examples of buildings, shops and woodworking. Also, good measured drawings to build projects.

Kerry Pierce Shaker Furniture
This Book has outstanding color photographs, very good plans and supporting drawings. The Pleasant Hill pieces in this book are not as complex overall as the furniture that is found in books on the Hancock Village furniture, but there is something to challenge almost everyone except the most skilled woodworker. If there was one thing that I could wish for it would be a few more plans, there are 17 in the volume. The books pictures are worth the price alone, the photographer Al Parrish did an excellent job.
