Sears, Roebuck Home Builder's Catalog: The Complete Illustrated 1910 Edition

I plan on building a new home over the next year and model several of the rooms in the 1910's era style, especially a bedroom with accompanying bathroom and an office. This book gives me the ability to find the items I need, and if I can't find them, I can make them. This was exactly the book I was looking for. Not to mention it is a great way to reminisce about the craftsmanship of a bygone era, or lament the lack of craftsmanship today.

We have a 1912 bungalow and this book is going to come in SO handy as we work at undoing some of the "improvements" that have been done to it over the years. Plus it is just fun to look through. I have had a couple of catalog reproductions in the past that were very poor quality- printed on newsprint type of paper, poorly printed and hard to read or the print being so small as to be nearly unreadable. Such is not the case here. It is a crisp copy on the quality of paper you would hope for in a paperback.

BUY IT! Buy it for SURE! This is a gem. Tons of stuff in it, like the rolls of 1 1/2 inch lead pipe. Gotta love that!!! I found so much stuff in here that is from the year before my house was born. I uncovered some of this stuff as I replaced leaking plumbing, including the old lead pipe they used for the p-traps. AND I confirmed that my 2-panel doors could actually have been original. (A friend insists they were a '20s remodel.) I also found other old plumbing stuff, and tons of other stuff. I even figured out what used to be on the exterior of the house next door, based on what the stripping company gripe about! A wonderful read at night.

Mice resource if you are trying to pick period correct hardware for am older home.

I like history and this time period especially, so I thought this would be a really awesome thing to have. I also have two larger catalogues from this period as well, a Sears & Roebuck and a Montgomery Ward. This catalogue is a nice addition to the collection, but I don't think I would be as thrilled with it as a stand alone piece. It does have a ton of cool stuff in it, but not as much as my big books. Great book, but not my favorite.

This is a great addition to our replica outhouse which is really a well pump house in disguise. My father worked for Sears for many many years when Sears was the only store to go to. The book has many fascinating item with the prices which I also found interesting. To bad we can't buy the items of yesterday with the money we now earn. For farmers this book would be a good investment if you want to walk down memory lane.

Love this book. Although one may no longer order the items, the original names of the items are extremely useful when searching for thosebproducts to restore old house to original specifications.

This was a Father’s Day gift for my retired contractor husband. Lovely book and clear printing. Even I got a kick out of the old pricing for beautiful materials!

珍しい物（ＤＹＹ商品？）のカタログで、印刷、紙質ともに良い復刻物です。

All went ok.

The print resolution is excellent very detailed

当然、当時の価格で記載され、ほとんどの品物は現在購入できません。 デザインの参考、古家のメンテ資料という事になると思います。

Just like the title says I was really looking forward to this and when It arrived it was a huge disappointment, they copied two pages in portrait of the orignal and made them one page in landscape. The makes most pages difficult to read without a magnifying glass at best and totally unreadable at worst. VERY VERY disappointed.
