• Wooden Fences
  - by George Nash, James P. Blair
  George Nash describes the many types of wooden fencing & recommends certain kinds of wood (all common hardwoods, he says, are generally unsuitable, as they swell, warp, & rot too easily).

It's one of the best references available on the subject, & certainly the most beautiful.
