Can't see anything advertised on Westonbirt website - http://www.forestry.gov.uk/forestry/BEEH-A3REPZ although it was last updated 28 Feb!

I don't think I'll be free but maybe. Anyway thanks for the link, as it also advertised "Cut and Dried", our very own Richard Jones long awaited book on wood technology, via Classic Hand Tools. I've put in an order and look forward to it coming later this month!

I very much appreciate finding that out MusicMan. That news means I know of at least three confirmed sales of the book here in the UK, although I understand there are others, including at least one university and a college library. I truly hope you enjoy the book when you receive it. I think Classic Hand Tools are still waiting for the book shipment - their website (as of just now) suggests that's the case, but hopefully that will change very soon.

Anyway, your news is heartening. Thank you indeed for buying. Slainte.

Yes, I've just placed an order for "Cut & Dried" at Classic Handtools.

Which means I'll have a compact library of exactly two books by forum authors, because let's not forget Chris Tribe's excellent "Complete Woodworking"!

Ah, that's good news custard. Thank you, and I agree with you regarding the quality of Chris's book.

On a side note Lost Art press recently released a PDF excerpt from the book as a teaser at the following link if other visitors to this forum are curious. Slainte.: https://lostartpress.files.wordpress.co ... xcerpt.pdf
