Shaker continues to be one the most persistently popular home decorating and furniture styles. This book brings together the best articles from recent issues of Fine Woodworking and Home Furniture journals on building furniture in the Shaker tradition. It provides background on the style, building instructions, and inspiring pieces in three main sections: Style & Design describes the historical background and its hallmark design elements. Projects & Techniques describes and illustrates a variety of pieces, as well as specific woodworking techniques common to the style; Inspiration offers a full colour gallery of fine pieces created by experts to provide readers with ideas. Unique: there are many books on Shaker style, but only this one effectively combines style background and history with practical building information. Practical: the projects result in attractive, accessible furniture projects. In full colour: step by step construction photographs, plus gallery shots of superb Shaker pieces.

Beautiful Furniture - but no plans4
This is a great book for Shaker furniture inspiration. There is some beautiful furniture and good articles, but It does not have any detailed project plans. Worth the money though.
