This book was recommended by a customer, which is always a good start and it isn't difficult to understand his enthusiasm; this contains a quite incredible amount of information on making wooden wheels, and has been written as something accessible to beginners, while at the same time, challenging to intermediate level wheelwrights. Bruce & Joyce Morrison, the husband and wife team who largely wrote this magnum-opus are Canadian, and it may be that there are detail differences between North American and European ways of building wheels, but I don't believe the basics will vary much. You might consider the price is steep for a book produced and printed by desktop publishing methods, but there are 372 A4 pages here, and they are crammed with wall-to-wall information. If you want to build a wooden carriage wheel, or just wonder how it was done, this is as good a book as you will find. Spiral-bound with card cover. Cottonwood Press.
