Customer Reviews & Comments This catalog view of the work of Dirk Van Erp is without equal - the photographs alone, of Van Erp, his wife, children, and co-worker Craftsmen...to say nothing of the views of his shop and salesroom, are priceless. The book fills a large gap in the public record of the seminal work of this, the second-most important Arts and Crafts figure in North America (after - or before, if you will, Elbert Hubbard). It has been estimated that there are less than two thousand extant Van Erp pieces in the world today. I feel that a reading of Dorothy Lamoreux's excellent book will make we happy owners - and the rest - appreciate the passion that went into their creation. Buy this book. STEAL this book. Read it, surely.
