Picked up a 1965 edition of the 1935 Encyclopedia of Furniture while garage sailing this weekend. Lots of interesting pictures, and terms I didn't know. But my favorite passage was this:

"CRAFTSMAN FURNITURE: Utility to the point of crudeness. Mission's lack of grace doomed it to a brief doctrinaire appreciation; nevertheless it attained wide distribution"

That's it - in 476 pages. But the author sounds really disappointed that it attained ANY distribution. LOL
