Timber Building in Britain by R W Brunskill
This beautiful book is in four sections: the first on types of timber construction -- walls, roofs, floors; the second part comprises a remarkable illustrated Glossary of terms used in timber building; part three is an illustrated chronological survey of timber buildings from Saxon times up to the nineteenth century; part four covers regional variations in building types backed up by six distribution maps. Virtually every page has at least one illustration.
