Homes in a Box: Modern Homes from Sears (Schiffer Design Book)

Rating:
Summary: Apparently a reprint of an old Sears Catalogue...
Review: If you're going to buy *all* the books out there on Sears Homes, you'll certainly want this one in your collection. But the Dover Reprint [of Sears 1925 Catalogue] is a better resource. Of the two, I'd pick Dover over this one.

However, it does have some designs of homes I'd not seen elsewhere and that makes it a valuable resource. But once again, it is JUST a reprint - not a contemporary book explaining the history and ongoing rehab of (now) historic Sears Catalogue Homes.

I've written a few articles about these Sears Homes and I find the topic endlessly interesting. If you're *that* kind of old house nut (like me) you will enjoy "Homes in a Box."
