A beautiful Christmas gift. Had been searching for a book on barns and this fit the bill perfectly. If you're fascinated by barns and lament their disappearance this full-colour coffee-table size volume will bring you hours of pleasure. Some of the text on barn structure was over my head as I don't have a mind for architecture, but I did my best to follow along and still learned much. The photos are a great aid.
