If you own a scythe but are not yet an expert, this author with long practical experience will likely have something useful for you to make your use of the tool easier and more effective. If you are thinking of trying a scythe, the book is cheaper than buying the wrong tool or, worse, a tool you might not use at all. Even if you never intend to mow a field, this well written books gives some interesting insights into human powered a tool. But Fair Warning: there is just enough of the lyrical and romantic to this book to make a non-scythe owner start looking for reasons to own one!
