Heads Up For Wood Phreaks - Book
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. charlie b |

St. Springfield, Or .97478 Take a look at my mess and work. http://www.PictureTrail.com/gallery/...ername=thewizz "Do not meddle in the affairs of Dragons, for thou art crunchy and taste good with ketchup" 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." |
