Reviews

[Sarah Ehinger]

This book showcases various tools and implements that helped make the American industrial revolution thrive.

[Edmund Fletcher]

This is a really interesting book on the way they made things back in colonial America and Europe. Reading this will really give you more of a grasp of how people lived, and how things were done.

And, of course, any review would be lacking if it didn't mention the beautiful illustrations. The drawings are exceptional and help you to visualize the tools, techniques, and processes in a way that words alone could not.

TOTALLY RECOMMEND!
