163 pages. Cover wornWool man is the story of a New Zealand wool merchant -- and much, much more. Using his own firm, Sheep & Wool, as a character, Rex Weber records the dram a and brings to life all the down to earth detail of wool in this country. This is the first book to tell the New Zealand story, and tell it with country humour and with no punches pulled. Great names and lesser known names, farms, sales ro oms and wool stores, battles fought and battles still to come in the arena of ma rketing -- Wool man has something to say about it all. From the sheep's back thr ough every stage of buying and selling, handling and grading, processing and end use, the book brims with anecdotes and the author's own pungent comment. Always sympathetic to the farmer's viewpoint -- and indeed a practical farmer himself -- Rex Weber also argues urgently and persuasively for the new ways of marketing wool, in the interests of all New Zealanders . -- Inside front cover.
