"In the story of the ongoing struggle between man and nature (not to mention between man and man), the chainsaw makes for a surprisingly colourful chapter." --Stephen Knight, Quill & Quire, "In the story of the ongoing struggle between man and nature (not to mention between man and man), the chainsaw makes for a surprisingly colorful chapter." --Stephen Knight, Quill & Quire "An indispensable and comprehensively informative reference source for professionals and non-specialist general readers with an interest in chainsaws or chainsaw technology, Chainsaws: A History , is profusely illustrated throughout in full color and certain to be an immediate and enduringly popular addition to personal, community, and academic library collections." -- Midwest Book Review

Synopsis
First published in 2006 and now with over 10,000 copies sold, this award-winning book on the worldwide history of the chainsaw will captivate all gadget fanciers, even if they've never had a chainsaw in their hands., With hundreds of full-colour photographs and fascinating ephemera, combined with an authoritative text listing hundreds of chainsaw models from the 1800s to the present, Chainsaws carefully traces the evolutionary threads of countless pioneer devices--from six-hundred-pound steam-powered behemoths, to gas chainsaws mounted on wheeled carriages, to diesel chainsaws. The meticulous text examines Andreas Stihl's Black Forest experiments, Vancouver's booming WWII chainsaw industry and the postwar race to develop one-man saws, the rise and fall of Canada's proud Pioneer brand, and the late entry into the field of the centuries-old arms manufacturer Husqvarna. Recalling once-familiar brands such as Titan, Timberhog, Bluestreak, Hi-Baller, Hornet, Wasp, IEL, Partner, PM, Poulan, Dolmar, Danarm, Disston, Remington, Canadien, Lombard, Mall, McCulloch, Shade, Solo, Be-Bo and Jo-Bu among others, author David Lee worked together with some of the world's leading chainsaw history experts to create this tribute to one of humanity's most labour-saving inventions. Lee concludes this new paperback edition with a note on recent advances in chainsaw technology--notably the cordless electric chainsaw, powered by a lithium-ion battery--bringing readers up to date on today's lightweight modern machine. Chainsaws is a handsome gift book and an indispensable reference for anybody with an interest in chainsaws or technology., First published in 2006 and now with over 10,000 copies sold, this award-winning book on the worldwide history of the chainsaw will captivate all gadget fanciers, even if they've never had a chainsaw in their hands.

I didn't see a verbal description of this book as "hardcover" or paperback. Cover design and price were similar to both cover styles. I thought I'd left a question for the seller, but I may have done something wrong. The package was too small to match the hardcovers previously received so I returned it unopened. Seller was very efficient, and packaging offered excellent protection. Haven't checked to see if refund was processed.
