This is a good book for Daniel Pabst, Egyptian Revival and Kimbel & Cabus due to cursory coverage of these in other reference materials. There is also a good section on George Hunzinger. Other makers and styles covered: Philadelphia Empire Style, Hitchcock Furniture, Belter, Eastlake, Galle and Majorelle, Art Nouveau, Charles Voysey, Chicago Furniture, Gustav Stickley, Roycrofters, Innovative Furniture, Thonet and Bentwood, Wicker, Cast Iron, Adirondack Hickory
