Summary: Pattern book of 16th-18th century fences: stylish/practical
Review: This looks like an 18th-century pattern book for woodenfences, down to the typography and spelling. But it waswritten only a couple of years ago by Harrison, who collected and documented old fence designs. It's very stylish, yet practical. It does not, on the other hand, cover 19th-century style or the use of modern tools and paints. This is the book to get for stylistic ideas, but if you don't know woodworking, you'll need another one (e.g. K. Geist) for the nitty-gritty.
