Description

The Garden Writers Association of America declared it best book of the year for 1998. And The New York Times wrote: "Logan, who is one of our best garden writers, has produced not only a real book but a scrupulously researched, handsomely designed, and highly enjoyable one to book."The Took Book celebrates garden tools in all their pleasure, practicality, variety, beauty, ingenuity, simplicity, and purity. Thirteen chapters and over 70 striking full-color photographic spreads-obsessive and obsessively informative-present hundreds of tools organized by task: 22 shovels, 21 spades, 12 trowels, 16 hoes, 11 weeders, 19 hand pruners, 10 pruning saws. In addition to garden tool necessities, here are knives, axes, hooks, watering cans, rakes, riddles, brooms, wheel barrows, shears, and scoops, and much more. There are tools to start the garden from seed in the spring, tools to keep it growing and healthy all summer, and tools clean up in the fall. And, finally, tools to care for the tools. In addition, the the book presents a detailed overview of the marriage of tool to type of work-how garden tools evolved, how to use each type of tool properly, and what to look for in a tool. It's the right tool for the right job. 37,000 copies in print. Read more

A Classic Book for the New Gardener
Format: Hardcover
I know this book is almost 20 years old but it is still a great read and I find myself consulting it over and over again. It is the perfect gift for a new home owner and a reference for all gardeners. I made the mistake of giving mine to the GoodWill however I am glad to know that there are used and new books available. I actually purchased this one from Goodwill of Denver and it is in excellent shape. ... show more

Beautiful book on gardening tools
Format: Hardcover
Beautiful book on gardening tools. But not only that, beautiful book on gardening too. Through the use of tools, it gives you a comprehensive guide for the garden. I took great ideas on how can I improve my time in the garden and enjoy it. The language of the book is like in story tellings. So you easily find yourself going through the lines without noticing how far you go. Thank you Willian Bryant Logan. ... show more

A must have for serious gardeners
Format: Hardcover
This book is a must have for gardeners. I am a budding horticulturist and farmer and I couldn't put this book down. It goes into the history and uses of many a tool from the most common to the most specialized. If were about to consider buying the best garden tools for my money I would consult this book first to get the lowdown. ... show more

Love your tools...
Format: Hardcover
Great book, I can finally identify all the tools I have (or had) and what is good about them. If you love your tools you will maintain them better which is good for your tools, your safety and your financial well-being. This book helps in that endeavor. I really miss Smith & Hawken's stores.
