I do a regular post on Thursdays about outhouses - there's some great architecture out there that deserves a wider viewing and I'd include grain elevators, etc, in that category.Alex Johnsonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10541306582397824715noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-27813826.post-34428262272911241162008-04-04T13:46:00.000+00:002008-04-04T13:46:00.000+00:00I'd like a book on Groin Elevators please.I'd like a book on Groin Elevators please.Adamhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15793050007954678178noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-27813826.post-69431610151139336662008-04-03T22:08:00.000+00:002008-04-03T22:08:00.000+00:00Wow, yeah, Ryan of Toledo.

As someone who buys a fair amount of 'weird' books, if I was of a more sensitive disposition I would read this blog post, be horribly offended and buy the book from Amazon/Waterstones etc.<BR/><BR/>Guys I think you're great, but calling your customers names (even in jest) can't be a smart move surely?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-27813826.post-69916785524879232612008-04-03T14:17:00.000+00:002008-04-03T14:17:00.000+00:00I don't know how to put this without sounding rude...I don't know how to put this without sounding rude but...I think you might be at least a little bit odd. <BR/><BR/>1: You are a good customer of ours. <BR/><BR/>2: You like reading books about lighthouses. <BR/><BR/>3: You liked the cover of the Becher and the inside is pretty much just like the cover.

I recently read "Stargazing' about the life as a lighthouse worker...very enjoyable (I mean the book not so much the work).
