Eric Sloane's An Age of Barns: An Illustrated Review of Classic Barn Styles and Construction
An unfortunate result of progress is that many older  technologies or styles are lost to future generations. With  preservation in mind, Sloane created the original edition of  this title, which has been out of print for 20 years. This  reissue is of great value to anyone interested in barns or early  Americana. The black-and-white illustrations are simply  beautiful, showing the amazing array of barn designs and related  agricultural buildings. Sloane also covers barn raisings, smoke  houses, and the specific parts of all of these structures. This  remarkable book will appeal to those interested in construction,  Americana, or rural living; this title should be part of every  public library collection.Copyright 2001 Reed Business Information, Inc.
