Lawnmowers and Grasscutters: A Complete Guide

Not very impressed with this title. It only covers fairly recent machines and not in much depth. The history section is also less than satisfying.The Haynes mower manuals are significantly better.

excellent information

fantastic book for lawnmower enthusiast

Good book gave me all the information I needed.

a good read and very informative well packaged and very informative-told me things that i did not know before good quality of book ie no marks etc

My husband rates this book highly, he works with mowers and is a member of the Old Lawnmower Club, this book gives him some invaluable information on the history of the lawnmower and the workings of the machine.

Purchased to check I was up to speed in keeping my lawn tractor in good fettle, I found that so much more came from these pages.They say never judge a book by its cover, or in this case maybe - by its title. An incredibly interesting and informative read, Brian has struck a perfect balance with his easy to understand technical tips and advice balanced with some incredible facts and history of mowers and lawn maintenance. He could obviously make a snail race seem fast and full of action.Highly recommended, although I don't think I will follow in his footsteps and forays into lawnmower racing - far too dangerous by all accounts!

I picked up this book hoping to find out more about lawnmowers in general, how they worked and which would be the best for maintaining my own lawn. I found all this and heaps more. There's a great deal of technical detail on all types of mowers including their use and maintenance, history of lawnmowers and other grass cutting machinery, interesting and sometimes funny stories about these machines and people, with excellent illustrations and photos. I can't think there would be anything about the subject that wasn't here. All written in a style that's easy to read and understand.
