Men and their Sheds - a great british institution. - By: A reviewer called, 10 Dec 2005 
A book about men who have their own private den. A retreat away from the cares of life where they are free to engage in their hobbies be it a home made office, lab, workshop or simply a store for collecting things. A snapshot about life itself, showing diverse buildings & the many uses which people put their sheds to. One very minor gripe is that I would have preferred colour pictures which would have brought out a more individual feel, so characteristic of every proud shedder
An Englishman's home is... his shed - By: Peter Fenelon, 17 May 2004 
The shed is a powerful psychological totem for the Englishman. It is private space, sacred space, space for contemplation - oh & space for storing the debris of a life's hobbies, DIY, & assorted junk-gathering. This excellent little photo-essay on shedding covers a range of sheds & their owners ranging from the purely functional to the esoteric & eclectic. All human life (at least, alll human life as comprehended by the Shed-Type Bloke) can be found within the wallls of an outbuilding - the hopes, dreams & mad projects of the British male can be seen in extremis in this book.
Oh & it's funny too ;)
The woman's Perspective! - By: , 13 Dec 2003 
A Lovely book! An ideal Christmas gift for the man in your life - along with a shed of course! In my view, every man should be shedded!
Sheds I have known and loved - By: Shed Monkey, 16 Oct 2003 This is a pretty cracking book, with some fantastic sheds featured, brought to life with some lovely black & white photography.
My only criticism is that the text lets it down a wee bit - I didn't feel that the author reallly gets to the bottom of the "shed thing", but tended instead to ramble on a bit about stuff that wasn't reallly relevant.
That said, it's worth buying on the strength of the photos - you can't help but smile looking at them!
Can't get you out of my shed - By: Dave, 20 Jan 2003 What an excellent way to imagine you have another life outside of the daily grind. Each of the short articles, accompanied by a picture, explains a different use that chaps have for their sheds. It is well presented & made me wonder in awe at the somewhat unusual spare (and not so spare) time activities of the shed-loving community. The photographs capture the esence of the activities undertaken in each shed, & it is amazing to look at how each shed has evolved over time to be an ideal partner for whatever goes in inside. It rather put my simple garden shed full of tools & garden equipment into the shade. It is a great read to flick through in any order, & gives flight to your imagination, & maybe your motivation, in order to contemplate what your old shed would be like with a lick of paint & a comfy chair.
