There's no text just 500 colour photos of 500 different examples of the genre ranging from the avant garde to the very traditional. I find them great for inspiration.
I thought I'd have a gander at 500 Tables, 500 Chairs.mbartlett99":1enpnnao said:Don't know if its what you're looking for but I recently bought three books; 500 Tables, 500 Chairs and 500 Cabinets all from Amazon.

Thanks for that. Came today. Yes a much better book than the 500. Not just because it has twice as many. It includes early classics from architects, Shakers, Thonet etc.Racers":3gk04muk said:Hi, Jacob
