Package from Amazon arrived yesterday but I didn't open it because it is that time of year, and I hadn't ordered anything recently. LOML informs me tonight that one package contained a book I had pre-ordered January 31'st of this year... :eek: :eek:
Connecticut Valley Furniture
Eliphalet Chapin and His Contemporaries 1750-1800
by Thomas P Kugelman and Alice K. Kugelman with Rober Lionetti
ISBN 1-881264-08-4
Book is large format, weighs a ton and is over 550 pages....!!:D
Initial glance at the book and my reaction is very favorable...will take weeks to do this book justice!!
I visited the exhibition of Chapin's work that the Connecticut Historical Society put together when it toured through Mass - group from our Guild made the trip...
For those that love American Period Furniture, I think this book is going to be a must have....
Glad I ordered it when I did (pre-order price was something like 47.25 or so, which for a book like this is a bargain) and even happier that I forgot about it...made it like an early Christmas gift...
I see that it is still available at that price now...although it is not elegible for the free shipping anymore...
Now, after a foot of snow today, it's time to light a fire in the fireplace and settle down with a good book on furniture:)
