A guide to the religious community known as the Shakers. Per the back cover, "The Shakers were nineteenth-century America's largest and best known communal utopian society." Worshipping by performing a ritual dance (which is the source of the name "Shaker"), the group practiced celibacy and worked diligently to produce simplified items for their communal use, such as woodwork, meeting houses, art, and furniture. With dozens of color photos of their handiwork. --- A softcover in stiff wraps, with photo of a simple dining table to front panel. --- A clean, bright, unmarked copy, though with very mild sunning to covers. (NOTE: Due to the weight of this item, extra shipping charges may be requested for any shipment other than by USPS Media Mail in the US.); Small Quarto - 9 to 11 in. tall; 272 pages
