### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Beautiful illustrations
*by D***B on April 12, 2025*

Such a great book. Educational, interesting and beautiful. The age of great books like thos seems to be fading.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ More For Adults Than Children
*by H***N on April 12, 2008*

This is a fascinating account of the life and times of a millwright and his trade. Details on choosing a location for the mill, building the mill, and how the machinery to grind the grain worked puts the reader in the position as the millwright himself. This book is written as part history book, part informational, and even part journal, using fictional diary entries to give the reader a sense of the everyday life of a miller. A touch of drama is thrown in as we read of mill-workers who are injured and/or killed while on the job -"1864 August 15: Mary McDonnell was drawn into the machinery by the belting today and lost her right arm below the elbow. I fear the heat will not help her recoveryAugust 17: Mary McDonnell died today, the infection having spread too quickly from her injury. I will send her wages on to her mother in Southbridge."This book is supposedly written for children - I first discovered it in an elementary school library - but I find it more suitable for adults. I have found that many history books geared toward the younger set can have information not found in the more adult-oriented books. The Mill by David Macaulay is one of them. The illustrations themselves are very well done, and the details of running a mill is probably the best I have seen thus far.Great reading about the lifeblood of a 19th century community.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Mill
*by T***G on August 21, 2009*

I enjoyed this book. This the third book I've enjoyed by this author. Mill is good but it could have been more in depth. I realize that it was the author's intent to show only two northeastern mills but it would have been helpful to have seen examples of other mills. Of particular interest to me are mills that used tub wheels. There were no mention of these in the book. The book did fill a need for me as I was researching a particular mill. Based on the book I was able to determine what kind of wheel arrangement was used in the mill being researched. I felt that the drawings in "Cathedral" were better. Almost a great book.
