How it works

Register

Dedicated by the author to a vernacular architecture colleague.

Although this booklet is one of James Walton's lesser-known titles, it has considerable interest as a record of the construction and use of "forked" and "double-runner" sledges in forestry and agriculture in Southern Africa, especially in the first half of the 20th century.

28 pp of illustrated text saddle-stitched into heavier limp covers.

CONDITION. Both the back cover and (less so) the front cover are rubbed at the binding edge. Unmarked apart from the dedication and undiscoloured.
