Frustratingly brief presentation,

This review is from: The Old Barn Book: A Field Guide to North American Barns & Other Farm Structures (Paperback)
While the book presents numerous types of agricultural buildings from all over the U.S., it doesn't go into any sort of detail about any of them, making it of limited reference use.

This review is from: The Old Barn Book: A Field Guide to North American Barns & Other Farm Structures (Paperback)
For what I wanted the book for it is a fantastic resourse. I build model barns and covered bridges. This book has not only given me new ideas but also a history behind them. Love the book.

This review is from: The Old Barn Book: A Field Guide to North American Barns & Other Farm Structures (Paperback)
This field guide has what I consider to be soso black and white photos and drawings of each type of barn and supporting structures. If you are looking for accurate information on a style of barn and where it may be located this is the book for you. I would perfer better quality photo's and some color. Rather boring presentation!
