 BOOKS : HORSE-DRAWN FARM MACHINERY
The eighteenth century Agricultural Revolution saw centuries-old methods of farming discarded and new improvements made. Draught oxen were replaced with more versatile and heavy breeds of horses and the Industrial Revolution produced an enormous range of horse-drawn agricultural machinery, such as cultivators, roof lifters and maure spreaders. This book describes and illustrates these machines, the horses and their harness, inventors and manufacturers and lists the places where the machines can be seen today.

 BOOKS : RECYCLE: SALVAGE STYLE IN YOUR HOME & GARDEN
Recycle: Salvage style in your home & garden, Moira & Nicholas Hankinson
Moira and Nicholas Hankinson are masters of fashioning the coveted from the cast-off, and this book is their invaluable compendium of over 60 practical projects for the home and garden. Whether your motives are those of environmental conservation, or just desperation to avoid more identical furniture this book is full of examples of ersatz style which all of us can achieve. These celebrated designers give concise instructions on how to create each design, from the modest transformation of a shutter into a CD rack to the sizeable excavations of railway sleeper steps. Their clear step-by-step advice and photography will guide you through your projects as well as a list of all the equipment and resources you will need. More than a practical design manual it offers readers a whole new perception of everyday objects around us: as the authors themselves warn, once you attempt one design, you could very soon find yourself giving a discarded breadbin deep gazes of appraisal, or making nocturnal visits to your local tip.

 BOOKS : MOVING ROOMS: THE TRADE IN ARCHITECTURAL SALVAGES
Moving Rooms: The Trade in Architectural Salvage, John Harris, Yale
Since at least Tudor times there have been architectural salvages: panelling, chimney pieces, doorways, or any fixtures and fittings might be removed from an old interior to be replaced by more fashionable ones. Not surprisingly a trade developed and architects, builders, masons, and sculptors sought out these salvages. By 1820 there was a growing profession of brokers and dealers in London, and a century later antique shops were commonplace throughout England.
This fascinating book documents the break-up, sale, and re-use of salvages in Britain and America, where the fashion for so-called "Period Rooms" became a mainstay of the transatlantic trade. Much appreciated by museum visitors, period rooms have become something of a scholarly embarrassment, as research reveals that many were assembled from a variety of sources. One American embraced the trade as no other--the larger-than-life William Randolph Hearst--who purchased tens of thousands of architectural salvages between 1900 and 1935.
John Harris is Curator Emeritus of the Drawings Collection of the Royal Institute of British Architects. He is an architectural historian.

 BOOKS : BUILDING CONSTRUCTION DRAWING
Building Construction Drawing: Richard B Eaton
Originally published in six parts between 1914 and 1921 the book compacts this information into a useful source book. It has particular emphasis on joinery, including windows, doors, staircases, panelling, picture and chair rails, and architraves but also covering brick and tile floors, chimney heads, yard gates and an example of a roof for a small house. These will be of particular relevance to the maintenance of buildings constructed between 1900 and 1939, but can be more widely drawn upon for todays buildings.
