Chainsaws: a history

An unusual subject, but if you're at all interested in the history of chainsaws, then this is the book to get. Well illustrated with good quality photographs and an easy to read style.

A very interesting read and a lot of information, the two man saws are quite as some, well worth the money!

Ottimo volume che ripercorre a grandi tappe la storia delle motoseghe. Pagine colorate patinate, ottima grafica e di qualità. Spedizione rapidissima.

Starting in the nineteenth century, the portable, mechanized woodcutter went through dozens of prototypes cobbled together by inventive machinists and mechanics on both sides of the Atlantic. Chainsaws: A History tells the story of these oil-stained machine-shop geniuses and inventors as much as it tells the story of the machines themselves. An essential industrial history as well as a treasure for chainsaw buffs, written by one of Canada's most distinctive writers; David Lee has won acclaim for his books on jazz as well as his novel Commander Zero.
