The reduction of hard cereal grains by milling to form a usable foodstuff is one of the oldest crafts. While windmills and watermills are given deserved notice, the milling process itself and the modern development of the industry are usually taken for granted. Here is the fascinating story of corn milling, exploring the history of the buildings and technology, how millstones are produced, how corn and flour were stored and transported, and what life was and is like for millers. The modern interest in wholesome foods, energy conservation and the preservation of technological history means that many mills are still in operation and the book provides an extensive list of those which can still be visited. Line art, colour and archive photographs, many full page and in glossy colour in this 64 page Shire paperback.
