Michael Williams, along with co-author Richard Cahan, have produced the most beautiful of books: "Edgar Miller and the Handmade Home: Chicago's Forgotten Renaissance Man." Miller, a native of Idaho, came to Chicago to study at the Art Institute and stayed to build homes in the 1920's and 30's that are still lived in today. He was a painter, woodcarver, sculptor, and prominent stained glass designer. He employed all his talents in the creation of his homes and the results are living "lessons in beauty, creativity and honesty." Signed copies of the book are available at Cityfilespress.com or Amazon.com for unsigned copies.
