Borders Bookstore has Romeyn Beck Hough's The Wood Book The Complete
Plates
on sale for $39.95 US. This 800 page, hard bound book has color plates
of
a transverse section, radial section and tangential section of just
about every
American wood known around the turn of the last century, along with line
drawings of the leaves, flowers and seeds, accompanied by text in
english,
german and french. the book comes in a hard sleeve for added protection.

If you're a wood phreak this is a really nice book to have - especially
at
this price. The fact that it's put together with stitched binding makes
the price even more surprising.

I have no affiliation with Borders or Taschen, the publisher of the
book,
and am merely posting this heads up for you wood phreaks.

I saw the book last week and already drooled on it. I have a 30% off
coupon and points built up it's going to be mine today.

"Do not meddle in the affairs of Dragons, for thou art crunchy and taste

Political Correctness is a doctrine fostered by a delusional,
illogical minority, and rabidly promoted by an unscrupulous mainstream
media, which holds forth the proposition that it is entirely possible to
pick up a turd by the clean end."
