My friend gave me some more ancient koa and Doug for boards today that belonged to his late father, along this book today. Looks good. Anyone read it?

As I recall, that was a standard college/trade-school textbook back in the day (mine is from 1970.) It's pretty good, fairly comprehensive, but who sits down and reads their textbook? I haven't looked at it in years. Yours seems to be in exceptionally good condition, it looks like the owner never even opened it. Imagine that!

I had another Edition when I was at Millersville in the 70's. I kept it and referred to it for a while and not sure where it ended up. A good reference book.

From what I read so far, it’s a great book. Amazing how little hasn’t changed since 1970, except the tools you thought you had to buy to get a job done.

I have my Dad's copy sitting in my office. I skimmed through it. I sits on a shelf as a reminder.

I call it the Woodworking Bible. Dated in the machinery but the principles are sound and important. I got my first copy from the Reader's Digest book club when I was like 8 years old (about 1970).

992 pages?! That's gotta be the largest woodworking book I've ever seen.

Thats what we had at the college early 80's. Havent looked at it in a while. Best teaching still came from one or two teachers mostly one from where he learned to shops he worked in and ran.
