Home Stretch

Thanks so much for taking on this important project. I appreciate your dedication and commitment to excellence. It's reflected in the tools you offer woodworkers.

I wouldn't throw out the corrected proofs just yet. If the book takes off and becomes a minor classic, they'll make a great auction item for an EAIA fundraiser.

Looking forward to the book.

Joel,

Put me down for a copy. Looking forward to this important work.

Joel & Chris... I've been digging deep to try and find out who wrote this series for Charles Knight. And no luck. My guess is that the authors of the various sections were either 'gentlemen' or pretenders to the same. It could have been too low brow and common for them to attach their names to industrial arts titles. Charles Knight is still in existence, but the company has gone through so many changes that they no longer have records of their early works. I tried to do the same once with Holly (Wiley) but they too lacked any early records. Tis a pity.

Still and all, can't wait to buy a copy.

Gary,
Some of the books in the series have authors, actually most of the ones I have do. The J&C is one of the few that doesn't.

Joel... which makes me wonder if one of the authors of the other books was also the author of Joinery?

I've had these books on my want list for awhile, but haven't found copies yet at the price I want and in the condition I prefer. But then, if I found everything I wanted, what would I look for?

Gary

Joel,

Is there any chance the book will be available at the Woodworking in America Conference next month?

We are trying - but I don't know for sure yet.
