5.0 out of 5 stars BridgePros Review, January 9, 2001

This review is from: Spanning Time: Vermont's Covered Bridges (Hardcover)

This book gets a 10 out of 10 from BridgePros. At BridgePros.com we have been lucky enough to review some of the best products about bridges. This book just adds to the list. The information and pictures are wonderful. The book is laid out very well with 15 different tours to take of the bridges. The history of each bridge was researched well with all the source laid out nicely. This book has a great appendix for the bridge novice, including: A summary of the bridges, a covered bridge glossary, and a great explanation with pictures of the different bridge trusses, a section on the bridge builders, and finally a reading list. The book ends with a comprehensive index. This book is the first place you should look to learn about anything on Vermont's covered bridges and how to see them all! This reviewer traveled to Vermont in October 2000 to check out some of the tours listed in this book. They were laid excellent. Very good guide.

This extremely well written book contains a wealth of information and beautiful color photographs about all of the covered bridges in Vermont. The author has also drawn nice maps so that visitors can locate the bridges, which is very helpful. Anyone who is interested in covered bridges should own a copy of this fine book. I find it well worth the price and highly recommend it!

This review is from: Spanning Time: Vermont's Covered Bridges (Hardcover)

I ordered the book, "Spanning Time: Vermont's Covered Bridges", right before we left for vacation in Vermont. I had done some covered bridge "research" but didn't stumble upon this wonderful book until the last minute. There was a 50/50 chance it wouldn't arrive in time. It arrived very promptly two days before we left. It was a jewel on our covered bridge hunting days. Great service, great book!
