Antique & Unusual Wrenches, by Alfred & Lucille Schulz. 90 Pages. Softbound. In too many places the great forests are gone forever, in others they have reclaimed the areas that man once cleared. This book is Sloane's homage to tree and wood and the special knowledge once prevalent during early American life, such as knowing which wood is suited for which task and the ready identification of native trees. Wood has lost its value in the modern age having been replaced by man-made materials, such as metal and plastic, but Sloane's beautifully illustrated work shows that a reverence of wood can indeed be revived, the instinctive knowledge that wood can warm the soul as well as the body.
