This review is from: Restoring Hardwood Floors: Storey's Country Wisdom Bulletin A-136 (Storey Publishing Bulletin) (Paperback)

This 32 page bulletin from Storey's Country Wisdom series provided much needed info when we started to redo the old floor in a 1920's house a few years ago.

The publisher ceased printing this bulletin and has since incorporated it into a book entitled, COUNTRY WISDOM & KNOW-HOW - the most complete volume on every aspect of country living - from home and garden to barn and beyond.
