Should be titled "American Golden Oak Furniture

This book has helped me immensely in identifying different styles of furniture, especially nowadays, when there is such a hybrid of types. I feel more comfortable rummaging through antique shops. However, Golden Oak does not necessarily imply American. So, I was disappointed in not finding any "Harris Lebus" (England) brand furniture in the book. This book is a keeper and needs to be reviewed periodically to keep the different styles in one's mind. If you have not guessed, this is a picture book.
