The Gentleman & Cabinet-Maker's Director door Thomas Chippendale
If you like to make furniture, this is a good book to look through. I don't particularly like the style - it's too delicate & frilly for my tastes & needs, but it does give a woodworker something to aspire to as well as ideas. The measurements really help for heights & proportions.
