After being out of print for several years, it is available again--and available for shipping now.  These come as signed copies also.

This is based on articles written by Alan over a fifteen year period for the magazine American Woodworker.  It's a little different from other books in that it is a blend of techniques and projects--14 technique articles and 24 project articles.  

The updated edition includes an update on sources, heavier paper for more brilliant phots, some of Alan's paper marbling (inside covers) and it is printed in the USA and not in China as the previous edition was.  Alan is now the lawful owner of all publishing rights for the paper and ebook versions.
