THE “BOBBED WIRE” III BIBLE
by Jack Glover, privately published, 1972.
Profusely illustrated with black-and-white line drawings, this early out-of-print book provides an in-depth pictorial survey of antique barbed wire and staples.

Also pictured and described are examples of the various tools (pliers, stretchers, splicers, tighteners, etc.) used in fence construction. This scarce book is a collector’s item in itself and an invaluable resource reference work.
