Timber Country by Earl Roberge

Jacob J. mentioned this book in the falling thread. I picked it up last week. Great book so far. Good pictures and a great account of the goings on of logging in the past, present and what could be expected for the future.

There is a 1973 version and a 1991 version. I guess either version would work. I got both versions, as I like old books and have a little collection going.

They are both out of print, so you will have to hunt for them. Easiest places to find them are Amazon or Abe Books. Any other online book store may have them as well. Also, a Google search will bring up some listings on vendor sites.

My folks have a copy of the '73 edition. I always flip through it when I visit. That is one awesome slice of history right there.

I bought the original when it was just out. I remember I had to order it. I bought the 1991 verdion a year or two ago. Both are good but I think the original is better.
