Bah!!! Missed out on the signed copy, but ordered mine off Amazon this morning...know I'm going to learn at least a few dozen things!
 
Just got my book from Amazon. :biggrin:
I haven't read it all yet, but there are really great photos and I see that there is something for everyone, from novice to pro.

Thanks Rich, I wish you all the very best success for this book. Well done!!
 
Just got mine today....it is an awesome book that pretty much covers the entire gamut of pen making for all skill levels..from basic turning to advanced kitless techniques...great illustrations and diagrams..very nice! And we have some modest members among us. I know of at least one rat in the bunch.:wink:
 
Well, I read through the entire book between yesterday and earlier this A.M....

When finished the two most important things that I came away with were not what I expected. It was more than the feeling that I was holding a 140 pages of an outstanding tutorial in pen making.

Rather, I was left with the feeling of confidence that mastering rather daunting techniques was possible. Secondly, at least for me, it opened up a wide range of possibilities or ideas for new creations building on the knowledge base in the book.

I hope that makes sense...:rolleyes:

....and no I am not advertising..just stating what I got out of the book.
I would be interested in what others think.

I got mine from Amazon last Friday. It has now been read and I give it a top rating. There is much very basic stuff in there, but then it goes on into very detailed info for advanced pen work. Great job, good book for most everyone, posibly with the exception of Skipey, Roy and a few others.
Thank you Rich for taking the time and effort to produce this fine volume. ait will come in handy for some time to come in my shop.

Also made me realize I could use an upgrade of my shop!...but then again, also made me see how I could use what I had in a way I didn't know I could.
