Summary: dont know if its a good book
Comment: i like books with the "preview" feature.
the description says, paraphrasing "lots a pictures,drawings". but not a single piece of woodwork shown. now seeing his family photos is a sweet gesture but hardly enthralling when looking for ww pictures.

ahhhhh,im gonna go buy it,,,,but geeezz, pictures about the book IN THE PREVIEW would be awful helpful.

Summary: Sam the Man
Comment: This guy is a genius with the chisel, file and saw. He creates art works with wood, and I'm betting the trees consider it an honour to find there way into his workshop. Bravo Sam!

Summary: Sam Maloof
Comment: The book is a long list of Sam Maloof's accomplishments during his long life. It is very interesting but a little dry.

I would have liked to see more photos of how Sam building his furniture.

All that being said however, there is not enough written about Sam Maloof and so I enjoyed to book.

Summary: Detailed Biography
Comment: This book is a detailed biography of Sam Maloof. It has many detailed pictures of Mr. Maloof's work. Of course there are many photos of his famous rockers, but there are also photos of his tables, baby rockers/cradles and early furniture. The book is easy to read. The sentences are not verbose nor are they staccato.

But, the author seems to catalog every single show, large or small, that Mr. Maloof's work was exhibited in. (Apparently Mr. Maloof's wife, Freda, collected volumes of memorabilia about her husband' career.) Being a woodworker, I was also very intersted in technical details, but this book is somewhat lacking.

If I could give this book 4 1/2 stars, I would. It's not quite a five out of five. But it's more than a four star effort.

Summary: An awesome book about an awesome man
Comment: I bought this book at the gift shop located on Sam's property in southern California. This book is by far one of my most prized possessions as I was lucky enough to have it signed by Sam himself. I stopped by to visit his museum and to my surprise I saw Sam drive up. He was kind enough to stop and talk with us and even show us his woodshop. This is an amazing book describing Sam's work and love for woodworking. If you have an interest in fine woodworking, this is an excellent book for your collection.
