Horse-Drawn Carriages and Sleighs: Elegant Vehicles from New England and New Brunswick

(As this review is written, there is only one copy of this title available, and the asking price is astronomical. I suggest you keep checking back - it's a good book but not THAT good. I bought mine for under twenty bucks! Here's my review for a more reasonably priced edition): It's the excellent color photographs in this little book that make it a worth while purchase. All of the photos were taken at Kings Landing Historical Settlement in New Brunswick where the docents dress in period appropriate clothing, which puts the carriages in their proper perspective. Each picture of the carriages and sleighs are accompanied by the type of buggy, as well the period it is from. Sometimes the info includes the original prices. The last quarter of this 72 page book is dedicated to the carriage makers themselves, including original 19th and early 20th century pictures. From what I understand, all of the carriages presented here (except for the carriage maker pics) belong to Kings Landing. If this is the case, they have quite a collection, which makes me want to head up to the historic village and check them all out in person. This is a very easy and quick read for anyone who has an interest in horse-drawn vehicles. The pictures alone are worth the money.
