Ohio's Bicentennial Barns: A Collection of the Historic Barns Celebrating Ohio's Bicentennial

Rating:
Summary: Very Interesting Book!
Review: I thought this book was very interesting. I bought it for my dad for his birthday but I read through it first. It is the best book about Ohio's barns that I've seen. It would make an excellent coffee table book for anyone.

Summary: Badly edited
Review: It's impossible to give more stars to a book that can not even get Ohio's counties spelled correctly. Trumbull County is listed as 'Trumbill'. C'mon, folks!

Summary: Very Interesting Book!
Review: We have been traveling over Ohio for the past several weeks photographing the bicentennial barns and have found this book to be especially helpful in understanding the history of each barn. It has been fun trying to get a picture equal to or better than the one in the book. The only fault we found was that some of the directions to the barns were not easy to follow. Mnay of the barns had no addresses so locating them with internet maps was not possible. As Buckeyes, we feel this project and the book were well done.

Summary: Not for the weekend road-tripper
Review: While I appreciate the quality of the photography of this book, I wonder why its author (or publisher) chose to make it an oversized hardbound tome. It is much too cumbersome to take on road trips, which is the author's apparent intent since a detailed map to each of the barns is included. I hear that another book about the barns is due to come out shortly, and that, thankfully for the hearty travelers, it's a paperback! "Ohio's Bicentennial Barns" is a satisfactory coffee-table book, fine for perusing on occasion, but basically it's just a good living room decoration. While the cover caught my artistic eye, I must say that, aside from the photos, the rest of the book is somewhat tedious! Consider this a decent, but not very practical keepsake.
