Summary: Love it, Love it, LOVE IT!
Comment: I don't know why you would have to choose between this and Circa 1900 and American Bungalow. All of them are VERY high quality publications. I get them all. I am simply an addict to Arts & Crafts Homes and Furnishings. It honors true artisans and appreciation for the unique and full of character. Something refreshing in this era of condos and sloppy stucco homes. Arts & Crafts Homes Magazine is beautiful. I was thrilled when it started and I found it in the newstand and every issue has been equally as enchanting.

Summary: New, Better? A&C Home magazine
Comment: Just got the premiere issue of Arts & Crafts Homes, a new magazine from the same folks who make Old House Interiors. Several things recommend it over American Bungalow, which I do also enjoy - better quality printing and sharper photographs; far better typography and better laid-out pages (in fact, generally better art direction than most home magazines, and more sensitivity to the subtleties of type); a wider range of subject material - they are not quite as orthodox as Style 1900 and American Bungalow; and a better article-to-ad ratio. Of course, that last one could simply be a symptom of this being the firsts issue, so I'll have to keep reading to find out if it stays true.
It's definitely worth picking up a copy; the current issue has extensive articles on Chicago bungalows, new work from a California artisans guild (including Debey Zito) and lots (really!) more.
