Hi everyone. I happened to be looking at ebay, when I came across this book,Bungalow Homes for the Nation: The L.F. Garlinghouse Co.of Topeka.
I saw it was a brand new book, and searched for it on Google.

It is $20.00 and available from the Kansas State Historical Society.It has biographies of L.F.Garlinghouse, Iva Lieurance and Bernard C.Wanner, the prime movers and shakers of the company, plus excerpts from catalogs, advertisements with photos and floor plans.
Sweet! It also has Indexes of homes by street address and plan numbers are included.

Just thought I would pass this along.
Hope everyone is staying cool cause it's plenty hot here.

Hi Hilda and Antique Home,

Thanks for bringing my book, BUNGALOW HOMES FOR THE NATION, to the attention of your members. I published this with the Shawnee County Historical Society, KS, in Dec. 2008. It traces the history of a small bungalow plan company that grew to be one of the largest houseplan publishers in the world. With over 200 illustrations, the book includes historic catalog photographs of approximately 130 homes, mostly from the 1910s and 20s. Architectural styles include Arts & Crafts/Craftsman, Spanish/Mediterranean Revival, Tudor Revival, Dutch Colonial Revival, Neo-classical Revival, and Cape Cod. 152 pp, Softcover.

It is available for sale through the link you provided, but I am currently running a special via eBay (my seller name is mdm1964) or through Paypal via my website: AmericanHomesWeLove.com.
