5.0 out of 5 stars Got a shed? Get this book., February 25, 2000

By	Daniel Gray (Ranchero Indebto, USA) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

Who would have thought that backyard sheds could make for such a cool book? "Blokes and Sheds" dives into the murky and mysterious world of backyard sheds, bringing pearls to the surface.

In all, the book is well produced: the photography is awesome, the writing is witty, and the printing is excellent. It's well-suited to both the coffee table and the bathroom.

As a Canadian version of a bloke with a shed, I found this book fun and interesting. On the other hand, it emphasizes the anachronism, and is really more of a cultural commentary than relevant to the DIY crowd. Being Australia, the sheds are mostly metal.
