Written to mark the centenary of the Timber Trade Federation, this book illustrates the important role timber has played in Britain's trade and its economy. As a basic material for the construction, furniture and packaging industries, timber has long been one of Britain's principal imports. The authors of this book outline the origins of the British timber trade and its overseas contacts, showing how the demand for this essential raw material was satisfied.
