I thought this book would have pictures showing how to use the tools- after all it is part of the title -instead it had tiny line drawings of tools with their name and any photographs(black and white) are very poor quality. I would not give it one star if it was possible.Waste of money

I know of many tools, but this book addresses tools that are gone due to antiquity. You wont learn how to use them, but rather what they were used for. There are many drawings that show nearly every tool discussed. Its an interesting book and worth my time.

I feel that his book is a real bargain! It has many many drawings of basic and specialized tools... perfect for me! There is not a lot on how they are made but I don't need that. There are few details about the use of these tools which I might have liked but overall for the low cost of this book I was happily surprised and very pleased!Country Tools and How to Use Them (Dover Craft Books)
