If you collect books and information on Victorian antiques and you are a fan of Leon Marcotte, you should nab a copy of this 1994 issue of American Furniture, edited by Luke Beckerdite. There is a 24 page article on Marcotte with some photos of his work that I had not seen before. I paid $128 for my issue (above) which was still new in the wrapper (14 years old and still wrapped ?!?) and sometimes there are some on eBay. Other sources - Amazon

    Sold for $89.00. I searched the web for this title and saw it selling from $60.00 (B&N.com) to over $300.00 - I saw some listed as new in the wrapper too. I saw a listing that showed the table of contents @ http://www.chipstone.org/publications/1994AF/1994table.html it looked like the article on Marcotte was the only 19th century furniture article. Was it good enough to be worth $128.00? woodwright

    woodwright, for the average collector, no, not worth it. For someone who runs a site like this and needs reference material (images) of Marcotte furniture that aren't found elsewhere, it was worth it. I was hoping someone could get it for $30 or so, but I knew somehow it would get up there in price.
