International postal rates are calculated on a book weighing 1 Kilo, in cases where the book weighs more than 1 Kilo increased postal rates will be quoted, where the book weighs less then postage will be reduced accordingly. Originally published in 1929 this book gives a full account of the design, material and quality of workmanship of walnut and mahogany furniture of this period; and how spurious specimens are made. With more than 260 illustrations from examples in the collection of Percival D. Griffiths.

He designed modern furniture in what he described as the "Modern English Traditional School". He wrote extensively on furniture and also produced several books on antique clocks. Both of his first books, The present state of old English furniture (1921) and Old English walnut & lacquer furniture (1922), were highly detailed treatises on the methods of the fakers that plagued the antiques trade at that time.
