NEW BOOKS August 2007:

Kinderdijk : Dutch Water Management Throughout The Ages [in Dutch and English]

by Eppo W. Notenboom & Ben Maandag            ISBN 90-78388-01-3.                     2006

The sub-title explains it all except that it is only about the Alblasserwaard and doesn’t cover the rest of Holland.  It does not go into the technicalities of the mills but to compensate it has some really stunning photographs.

By Nathalie Lans     ISBN 90-804553-7-7                      2000

A history of the mills of Schiedam, Holland containing a lot of historical photographs.
