Most of the following catalogs / books & related will have no links. If there are issues, or problems with condition I will tell you.

I try to be conservative in rating the condition of my tools that are for sale, and will be

happy to answer specific questions about anything listed here. A condition chart can be found at the bottom of the ordering page that we try to adhere to when describing tools. As for the books below consider them to be in good condition and readable or usable. I do not get into the fine points of condition of them though.

Most of the books, catalogs and related offered here are from one consignors library of antique tool and woodworking literature he amassed including on the subjects like carving, model making, woodworking and tools in general. Most of these titles show up in an Amazon or Addall search if you want to read more about them. In general I do not do book reports. Most are priced well below those offerings in what I have read is known as a "race to the bottom". I actually want them to sell them not support other sellers fantasies about values.

Order by title. Please copy and paste the titles you want to an email so we will all know what it is you want and the price w/o going back to check.

It is really a simple procedure.
