New Edition of The Craftsman on CD-Rom

 The Craftsman (published from 1901 to 1916) was the voice of the American Arts & Crafts movement. The Craftsman brought Stickley’s ideas of the Craftsman lifestyle to a wide audience and remains a key source of information and a historical record of the Arts & Crafts movement.

This digital collection of The Craftsman includes all 183 issues, with architectural designs for more than 200 Craftsman homes; examples of all types of furnishings such as flower stands, chairs, library tables, magazine racks, wall treatments and candle holders; political and cultural commentary; and essays on the simplification of life and the art of home building.

Each page, or all 25,000 of them, can be printed. An index file listing all articles is included. Each issue is in its own file in Adobe Acrobat (.pdf) format, can be used with both Windows and Mac, and is searchable. Adobe Reader is provided. (All files can also be copied to your hard drive if you have 4.5 gigabytes of free space available.)

At such an affordable price, this collection is a must for all Arts & Crafts aficionados.
