Great Picture Book, but so Much More
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 16 years ago
This book is one of the best picture books on the subject of American Barns, but it is so much more. The author has written some interesting and informative material following the evolution of the barn throughout American history,and as barns changed to meet new needs as settlement moved westward, but again, this book is so much more. Randy Leffingwell, the author, claims that he spent over three years working on this book. It shows.
Omniubus barn book
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 17 years ago
This is the ultimate compendium of barn information. As a writer of a published barn book myself (Barn in the USA), I have seen my share of similar works. Most, however, fall short by showcasing old barns without placing them in context, or telling you more than you want to know about architectural considerations. Randy Leffingwell's book covers the historical and practical aspects of these rural structures, also presenting beautiful images without turning the book into a beauty contest. It is a treasure for historians and barnlovers alike.
Outstanding

As usual Randy's books are tops. His photography, sidebars and careful attention to details are unsurpassed. You can almost hear the hammers falling in the barn raising chapters. Recommended to all lovers of the vanishing scene.
