My book,
Cut & Dried: A Woodworker's Guide To Timber Technology is available from the following sources:
In North America from Lost Art Press,
(LAP) and their network of North American retailers - see LAP's website
for alternative stockists. European residents, including those in
the UK can purchase it nearer home through either LAP's importer and
retailer, Classic Hand Tools at their Books/Lost Art Press page, or through Woodsmith in Tyne-and Wear followed by clicking on the Shop/Books & DVD link.
The book is strongly endorsed in this review by J Norman Reid, a woodworker who writes for Wood News Online published by the US based retailer, Highland Woodworking.
