Review: Dry humor but full of knowledge - So far, I read first half before I reached history. Had a lot of useful info on the tools and methods. Most important I would say are the measurements in the tables for the various casks. Keeping in mind that this is not a how to book, it does give the steps on how to make casks with detail in first half of the book.
Review: Good read - This book is a good read for someone looking into the trade

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Good read

This book is a good read for someone looking into the trade

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Dry....just like a book about coopers, by a cooper, would be
*by I***N on June 10, 2014*

A few illustrations and pictures are nice. The author imparts a little romance here and there. Certainly very thorough in every regard. Since it's pretty cheap, be sure to pick one up if you're interested.
