"Regional Furniture 2016 is a photographic reprint of the second edition of The Cabinet & Chair Makers' Norwich Book of Prices, published in Norwich in 1801. This is one of the earliest and most comprehensive of the regional price books, but it is also one of the rarest. Only two copies are known to survive; one in the Norfolk Heritage Centre (Norwich City Library) and another in the library of Winterthur Museum, Garden and Library, Delaware, USA. Our reprint is taken almost entirely from the Norwich copy... missing pages were supplied by the Winterthur Library"--Editorial, page v.
