Hi, Here in Texas, we have a bookstore chain called "Half Priced Books". They are a used and overstocked book seller at !/2 or less off their usual retail price. For my birthday this week (#67), my son gave me a HPB gift certificate. In the past, good woodworking books, and turning books in particular, have not been plentiful there. With this in mind, I set off yesterday with the expectation of coming home with a couple of Tom Clancy's books or something similar. They have a new outlet in Austin and lot's more space, so I was suprised to end up with 4 books I had looked at in the past, but left on the shelf due to conflicts in the budget between books and tools. What I came up with was: 1) Turning Boxs with Richard Raffan; 2) The Lathe Book, Ernie Conover; 3) Colouring Techniques for Woodturners, Jan Sanders; 4) Turning Miniatures in Wood, John Sainsbury. 3 and 4 are Guild of Master Craftsman Publications. Also, I had to pick up a USMC paperback novel. After my gift certificate and an additional discount, my price was $6.70. Gotta go.... got books to read. (:-)
