Summary: Another Dover reprint...but an interesting one
Comment: Because I spend my spare time looking at old houses and trying to identify their unique charasteristics and different building styles, I bought this book. As a serious researcher on Sears Catalogue Homes, I figured I better know what *other* catalogue homes look like.
Bennett's Small House Catalog, 1920, is an 8 x 11" 73 page reprint. It's an interesting book to peruse. There are 7 pages of background info on Bennett in the front and 4 pages of building supplies in the back. That stuff is always an interesting read.
The other pages are good quality photos and floorplans (with a sales pitch, too) of the misc. homes sold by Bennett.
The photo and reprint quality is very good and the black and white pictures [drawings?] are unusually sharp for a reprint.
So, if you're like me and spend your spare moments looking at catalogs of old houses, you'll enjoy this. But there's not a lot of meat here - just old pictures and old descriptions and old sales pitches of old houses.
However, for ( )it's a good addition to the Old House Nut's library.
