Good Deal on Charlesworth Books

[Jeff Moore]

I was doing a little online book shopping this morning and ran across a good buy I thought I'd pass along to my fellow neanderthals. David Charlesworth's first two books, "Furniture-Making Techniques, Vol. 1 & 2," are currently available for $8.95 + S&H at lightningpublications.com. I bought three books and the total S&H charge was $9.35. This is about 50% below what these books are going for at other places I have found, such as LN, etc.

I recently finished reading Charlesworth's third book, "A Guide to Handtools and Methods." I really enjoyed this book and thought I'd give his first two a read.

I'm not a shill for Lightning Publications or David Charlesworth, just passing this along to those who may be interested.

Thanks for the heads up, Jeff. I just ordered the pair of Charlesworth's books. Earlier today I was looking at them while surfing LN's site and was giving serious consideration to getting them both.

I just ordered both of them. I have his third book, and like it a lot

As a general note I would highly recommend these books to any Neanderthal or wannabe and the price is outstanding.

Thanks for the information. Just ordered the 2 Charlesworth books as well as one on Marquetry.

I ordered them as well. Also got the free book on Celtic woodworking. Don't know if it will be any good, but for the price of shipping, it's worth finding out.

I went and looked at the Charlesworth books on that Lighting Publications site. The books are about $9 each and the shipping is quoted as $3.50 plus $2 per book or a total of about $7.50 for shipping. The total for the two books would be about $25.50 and delivery is quoted as up to 21 days.

Amazon has the two books for $26.21 ($14 for one and $12.21 for the other) with free shipping and available for immediate delivery.

So the difference is about $0.75, with Amazon being more expensive.

Mike, Amazon doesn't have Vol. 1 in this series; at least when I search "David Charlesworth" it doesn't pop up on my screen. They show "A Guide to Handtools and Methods," as being available, but this is actually the third volume in the series, not Vol. 1.

Take a look here (http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/tg/detail/-/1861081251/ref=ord_cart_shr?%5Fencoding=UTF8&m=ATVPDKIKX0DER&v=glance) ($14). He's actually not listed as the author on that book (by Amazon).

The second volume is here (http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/tg/detail/-/1861082959/ref=ord_cart_shr?%5Fencoding=UTF8&m=ATVPDKIKX0DER&v=glance) ($12.21). Both are paperback.

Just an update. Amazon now has both books available for $12.21 each($24.42 for the two). The only problem is that the total for the two books is under the $25 threshold for free shipping.

I just got the second and third book yesterday from Amazon, thinking I had the first and second. I really wish Mike had posted that link a bit sooner, because so far I've been less than impressed with the books, but figure the first one will bring everything home. ;)
