It's Not a Book about a Factory, and It Should Have Been. Thumbs Down.
I was hoping that this book would have had more information about this furniture factory. Afterall, this author blioviates that in doing research to write this book she realized that there are no books on the history of the furniture industry. Obne must question her research - I do! - because I have two copies of the autobiography of J. Edgar Broyill, "Anvils of Adveristy: Biography of a a Furniture Pioneer" and this book is replete with the history of American made factory furniture. In those days, the '90s, Thomasville was booming, at its peak. That means Thomasville dining tables and Thomasville dressers, both of which have polished tops were almost household names, ala Ethan Allen. It didn't occur to this author, "How do they polish those tops? No hobbyist can get that type of look. ... I was hoping that this book would have had more information about this furniture factory.

In those days, the '90s, Thomasville was booming, at its peak. That means Thomasville dining tables and Thomasville dressers, both of which have polished tops were almost household names, ala Ethan Allen. It didn't occur to this author, "How do they polish those tops? No hobbyist can get that type of look. How do they get such consistency, one cutting to the next? What is a cutting? What is a suite? Who makes the designs? What are the considerations for design? For finish? What EPA regulations are strangling this industry? Ect., etc., etc. Instead this book is another left wing blather piece of "workers are the heroes, corporations are bad." Is it really that simple and shallow what will fell a manufacturer? Tell that to Harden in upstate NY, both their workforce and their corporate staff were great. You can contrast this book with two more recent books on the plight and tribulations of American factory made furniture, "Furniture Wars: How America Lost a Fifty Billion Dollar Industry," and "Factory Man": How One Furniture Maker Battled Offshoring, Stayed Local - and Saved an American Town." Regarding this nicely packaged hardcover dribble, "Closing," this mess that the author thinks is great literature is what happens when you take a specific story and use it as a launch pad to write about a greater issue. Sio which is it, a book about White Furniture and its people or is it a book meant top preach and wallow in polemics? It ain't about the White factory, sad to say.
