I’d look on Amazon, but I look on Amazon for everything. They also sell second hand books from third party sellers. which are a snip

I’ve just been putting together a presentation, for my U3A group, about the regency era, which includes a section on furniture design. There’s a lot on the internet and maybe reading some of those articles will give you an idea of which books to choose. Hope your recovery goes well.

The website World of Books often has books on the history of British furniture. I like Art Deco jewellery and bought a few second books from them.

Thanks for such great recommendations. As soon as I have time, I will start reading.
