The back cover as an advertisement for Yoho & Merritt's new book: "Colonial Homes". All illustrations inside are in black and white, and a few of the pages stick slightly together. 112 pages.

**Yoho’s designs seemed to capture the essence of the Craftsman style in a way that few competitors could.
