an ear for a good yarn and the stories are rich with human interest
and detail ... The writing is sophisticated and the author provides
solid information on design, construction techniques and history

landscapes ... A lovely gift for anyone who already has an
affection for barns. Mr. Rakojkovic's informative writing wil
likely inspire many new converts, too.-- (10/26/2007)

details of Jon's barns and maybe we will be encouraged to see the
beauty in the details of our everyday lives.-- (01/01/2008)
