Author June Sprigg has lived and worked with the Shakers since 1972, and her text discusses their origins and beliefs, their work and daily life.
More than 200 full color photographs taken especially for this book by Michael Freeman richly illustrate their architecture, furniture, crafts, and inventions.
The exquisite photographs were shot -- almost entirely with available light -- in the villages and museums in New England, New York, and Kentucky.
More than a book of architecture and design, this book is a celebration of this fascinating American society and a tribute to their pursuit of perfection.
