Book review – Coppicing & Coppice Crafts
The new book, Coppicing and Coppice Crafts, A comprehensive Guide, by Rebbecca Oaks and Edward Mills, is just that. I found it covers a wide range of subject matter in an easy to follow readable format. The hardback has a nice colourful jacket and the book itself is well illustrated with pictures and diagrams.
